If the view is not automatically refreshed, you can refresh the view manually. Refer to
Subsection "Update the "Manage" Navigation view" (Page 580).
Note
If the SINUMERIK user interface "HMI Advanced" is installed on the same computer
(PC/PG) as the Automation License Manager you can set the IP address using the user
interface.
The IP address for the control system with which both HMI Advanced as well as the
Automation License Manager communicate is set via the following dialog:
Operating area switchover > Startup > HMI > NCU link
This requires at least the password of protection level 2 (manufacturer) to be set.
