C6017 License change to M after V5.3 Update

[Despejo47]

Hello  all,

We have two C6017 with 4 cores. Was working with S license without problem.  Since the CPS update 5.3 and License Server update to 1.0.3 the HMI request a M license.

Is this correct or is a bug?

C6017 should be a S license.

Thanks and best regards.

Hi!

Our S, M and L licensing is bound to the performance class of the controller.

The C6017 in the configuration which we officially support has a performance class which fits the S license. The one you use has a higher performance class (has significantly more performance since it has 4 cores). This is why it is treated as M-License. This is intended.

Unfortunately this behaviour was different in the past V5.x versions and we needed to adjust it so that is works as intended. That is why it previously worked with an S license.
