NOTICE
If a previous version of Siemens Workbench was installed and you are connected to the Internet, you should automatically receive a new license. This may not automatically occur on a computer with the Siemens corporate load of Windows.

In this case, start Siemens Workbench and skip to the procedure Installing and Configuring a Siemens N4 Appliance Station and Platform.

  1. Start Siemens Workbench.
  • The Request License dialog box displays.
  1. Call the Siemens number listed in the dialog box and provide the information displayed, or download/email the license from your Niagara Central licensing portal.
  1. Once you receive the license *.zip file, save it to your computer and extract its contents.
  1. Navigate to the location where Siemens Workbench is installed and open the security folder.
  • The default location is C:\Siemens\SiemensWorkbench-4.12/4.10U4 .x.x.
  1. Copy the *.license file(s) into the target host’s licenses folder.
    Note: You can rename any license file without affecting it. For example, you can change the name from Tridium.license to MyHost2.license to keep from overwriting an existing license file with the same name.
  1. Copy any *.certificate files into the certificates folder. These files come with the License file.
  1. Start Siemens Workbench.
  • The Siemens Workbench welcome screen displays.
