MCI board and hardware serial number
In addition to the retentive system and user data, the MCI board contains the data of a
control system relevant for the license management of SINUMERK software products:
● Hardware serial number
● License information including the License Key
The MCI board thus represents the identity of a SINUMERIK control system. For this reason,
assigning licenses to a control system always occurs using the hardware serial number.
This has the advantage that the MCI board can be slotted into a replacement PCU in the
event of failure and all data, including licensing information, is retained.
Automation License Manager
Thus, the hardware serial number is always decisive during the transfer of license
information to a control system in Automation License Manager and not the set IP address of
the control system with which Automation License Manager is currently communicating.
Determining the hardware serial number
The hardware serial number is a permanent part of the MCI board. It is used to identify a
control system uniquely. The hardware serial number can be determined by:
● CoL (Certificate of License) (see note)
● SINUMERIK user interfaces: HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded
● SINUMERIK Commissioning tool: SinuCom NC
● Inscription on the MCI board
● Automation License Manager: Control system file data
● Hardware serial number and CoL
● SINUMERIK 840Di sl

Note
The hardware serial number is located only on a CoL of the system software or if the
license was ordered bundled, in other words the system software came together with
options.
On the SINUMERIK 840Di sl, the MCI board is used to save data and print the hardware
serial number.
