Introduction
The SINUMERIK ONE SD card holds the machine's system software, its configuration, and its software licenses. Replacing it is not a straight swap. The licenses are bound to the card's hardware serial number, so they must be transferred to the new card through Siemens, and the machine's configuration has to come from an archive.
-
-
Scenario A, the card has failed. The machine will not boot and no current archive can be taken. The customer calls the Customer Service Group, a Repair Order is generated, and the replacement card ships loaded with the most recent archive on file for that machine.
-
That may be an archive taken during a later service visit, or it may be the one taken before the machine shipped. The machine comes back to whatever state that archive captured, and everything changed since it was taken is gone.
-
Go to Step 2.
-
Scenario B, the card still reads. The card is being replaced for another reason and the machine still runs. A fresh archive is taken off the machine immediately before the swap and restored afterward. The machine comes back exactly as it was.
-
Go to Step 3.
-
-
-
Customer calls the Customer Service Group (CSG) to request a replacement SD Card.
-
A Repair Order is generated to replace the faulty SD Card. A sample Sales Order from purchasing is available, but it is not the specific Sales Order for the SD Card.
-
A new SD Card will be shipped with the same archive that the machine was originally configured and shipped with.
-
Refer to Dozuki procedure:
-
Restore From Archive This procedure will give the new SD card the same configuration as the machine had with the old SD card.
-
If customer bought additional licenses after the machine was shipped, those licenses need to be activated separately. Refer to guide How to Load and Activate Siemens Licenses
-
Go to Step 6.
-
-
-
Open a support request with Siemens to move the licenses from the old card serial to the new card serial.
-
-
Select “SINUMERIK ONE License” as the product. In "Request details", provide both the old and new SD card serial numbers and the reason for the change. Provide proof of license, such as a scan or PDF of the Certificate of License (CoL/eCoL) and photos of both SD cards.
-
Siemens returns a license file named LK_<new card serial>.zip.
