8 Installation of the SIMATIC NET PC software products 2.1 Requirements and notes Software licenses To run the SIMATIC NET products, you require one software license per PC and product. Example: If you have installed the product HARDNET IE S7" on a PC and operate three CP 1623 modules with it, you require only one software license. Example 2: If you use SOFTNET PB S7 on a PC in three virtual machines, you require three licenses. Screen savers Using a screen saver during operation can cause system overload. Some screen savers do not release parts of memory again. This leads to a continuous reduction in usable memory. Virus scanners The use of a virus scanner during runtime can impair or severely slow down communication. For this reason, dynamic virus protection in particular using gatekeeper mechanisms is not advisable. The following virus scanners have been tested in conjunction with the SIMATIC NET PC software products (the default settings of the virus scanners were not changed for the test): Virus scanner name Tested with operating system McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2016 Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) as of version 1511, build Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit) as of version1511, build Norton Security 2016 Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) as of version 1511, build Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit) as of version 1511, build Installation Manual, 01/2016, C79000-G8976-C233-08

Restore points A system restore point is not created automatically and needs to be set as a manual restore point prior to the installation Requirements and notes relating to the hardware We recommend that you first install the software and license as described in this documentation and install the communications processors afterwards. Bus collisions after reinstallation If two PROFIBUS communications processors are installed in one computer, when the computer starts up, both communications modules are assigned bus address 0. This causes collisions if both modules are connected to the same bus. Solution Set different bus addresses for the communications processors e.g. with Comset before attaching the bus.
