Changing the licensing basis (device change)

TwinCAT 3 licenses for non-Beckhoff IPCs If you use an IPC from a manufacturer other than Beckhoff (TwinCAT 3 platform level >= 90), a TwinCAT 3 license dongle is always required for licensing TwinCAT 3.

In principle, you can apply to change the licensing basis for a TwinCAT 3 license, e.g. in the event of a device fault (device replacement) or a change to a license dongle (a TwinCAT 3 license dongle offers many advantages due to its flexibility).

Contact our Service Dept. for this (service@beckhoff.com).

A helpful tutorial can be found on the Beckhoff website under "Tutorial: Change of licensing basis (device change)". You can also find the application form under the "Change of the licensing basis (device change)" point on the Beckhoff website.
