This is accomplished by entering the license or serial number in the licensing dialog box. The 11-digit serial number (beginning with 8986.. or A555..) can be found on a paper CD in the CD case for each full version.

The licensing dialog box is displayed every time Automation Studio 3.0 is started, and can also be opened later on from the 'About' dialog box. The full versions for one work station and for 5 work stations can each be licensed 5 times per serial number. After that the serial number is invalid for further licensing.

The full version for an unlimited number of work stations can be licensed an unlimited number of times. Once the serial number has been entered in the licensing dialog box, if an internet connection is available, the licensing can be completed automatically online. If there is no direct internet access available, this can also be done manually (e.g. over the telephone Telefon using the corresponding B&R support line).

If the full version is not licensed, the program will be locked after 30 days of use.
