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 case of a device defect (device exchange) or when changing to a license dongle. (A TwinCAT 3 license dongle offers numerous advantages thanks to its flexibility.)

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

The application form can be found on the Beckhoff website under the sub-item "Changing the licensing basis (device exchange)".
