Objective
Update files with existing licenses (xxx.WibuCmRaU), which were saved with runtimes < v4.5.0.0 (Codesys SP18), can no longer be used in runtimes since v4.5.0.0! (SP18)
Workaround:
An old runtime must be installed (<v4.5.0.0) then the WibuCmRaU update file must be activated, and then the runtime must be updated!
You can download all needed version from the Codesys Store.
See the 'Versions' Tab within the Product page.
How to:
Make sure you have the WibuCmRaU update file:
Downgrade the runtime to v4.4.0.0.
Go to CODESYS Tools → Update Pi and install this older version.
Use Putty and connect to the controller.
Navigate to the Config file (Location of the configuration file).
nano/etc/CODESYSControl_User.cfg
Edit the .cfg: remove the entry:
[CmpCodeMeter] FCBoundWithHashedSerNo.0=5000304
Navigate to
cd/var/opt/codesys/.cmact_licenses/
Delete the directory completely
sudo rm *
Stop and restart the runtime
sudo /etc/init.d/codesyscontrol stop sudo /etc/init.d/codesyscontrol start
- Go to CODESYS Tools → license Manager
- Upload the saved xxx.WibuCmRaU fileback to the System
- Use CODESYS Tools → Update Pi→ Update to >=4.5.0.0 to update the runtime to the former used (or newer) version.
