Re-retrieving the License Response File and license certificate from the license server

The License Response File for licenses that have already been activated once can be re-retrieved from the TwinCAT 3 license server at any time.

To do this, create a License Request File for the desired device (TwinCAT 3 license dongle or Beckhoff IPC). Use Restore as the License ID and only select TC1000 as the license.

Send this License Request File to the TwinCAT 3 license server (tclicense@beckhoff.com).

The TwinCAT 3 license server then sends a License Response File back to you containing all the licenses that have already been activated for the corresponding system ID.

Together with the License Response File, you will also receive a license certificate in PDF format, which lists all licenses available for the specified system ID. You can use this license certificate for machine documentation, for example.

Notice

Name change possible

This License Response File is freshly created for your request by the license server and may therefore have a different file name to the original License Response File.
