The Siemens 6AV6371-1AH00-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the runtime and configuration environment for developing and operating HMI (Human-Machine Interface) applications on Siemens panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI software portfolio and is used to create visualization projects for operator panels across the SIMATIC range.
WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based runtime systems. The software supports communication via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet interfaces, enabling integration with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs. It includes features such as recipe management, alarm logging, trend displays, user administration, and multi-language project support, with a project-based licensing model.
WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and plant engineering environments. It is suitable for applications requiring centralized HMI project development across multiple panel types, including food and beverage processing, automotive assembly, packaging machinery, and water treatment facilities. The software's scalability makes it applicable to both small standalone machines and larger distributed control systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000001
- Communication error between engineering station and HMI device during project transfer
Check the communication cable and interface settings. Verify the correct COM port or network address is configured in the project transfer dialog. - Event ID: 1000002
- Project compilation error due to inconsistent tag configuration
Open the project in WinCC flexible, review the tag table for duplicate or invalid tag names, and recompile the project. - Event ID: 1000003
- License not found or license key invalid
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Automation License Manager. Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary. - Event ID: 1000004
- Runtime version mismatch between engineering project and HMI panel firmware
Update the HMI panel firmware to match the WinCC flexible 2008 runtime version, or adapt the project to the installed firmware version. - Event ID: 1000005
- Project transfer failed due to insufficient memory on the HMI device
Reduce project size by optimizing graphics and removing unused tags or screens. Check available memory on the target HMI device before transfer. - Event ID: 1000006
- Connection to PLC lost during runtime
Check the physical communication cable and PLC interface settings. Verify the PLC address and communication parameters in the WinCC flexible project match the PLC configuration. - Event ID: 1000007
- Alarm buffer overflow on HMI device
Increase the alarm buffer size in the project settings or reduce the frequency of alarm events. Archive older alarm records to free buffer space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?
WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including Micro Panels (TP 170 Micro, OP 73 Micro), Mobile Panels, Operator Panels (OP 77A/B), Multi Panels (MP 277, MP 377), and PC-based runtime systems running WinCC flexible Runtime.
Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with SIMATIC S7-1200 PLCs?
WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with S7-1200 PLCs via Ethernet using the S7 protocol. However, for full integration with S7-1200 and TIA Portal projects, Siemens recommends migrating to WinCC (TIA Portal).
Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal WinCC?
Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible 2008 projects. Some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the original project.
What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?
WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP (SP2 or later), Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Does the 6AV6371-1AH00-0AX0 license include WinCC flexible Runtime?
The 6AV6371-1AH00-0AX0 is an engineering software license. Runtime licenses for PC-based HMI systems are ordered separately with dedicated Runtime part numbers.
Troubleshooting
Project transfer to HMI panel fails with a communication error
Check whether the PC can ping the HMI panel over Ethernet, or verify the serial/USB cable connection. Confirm the transfer channel settings in WinCC flexible match the physical interface in use.
Correct the IP address or COM port settings in the Transfer dialog. Ensure the HMI panel is in Transfer mode. Replace the communication cable if a hardware fault is suspected.
WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start after installation, citing a missing license
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 license is present and assigned to the local machine.
Transfer or reinstall the license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license dongle (if applicable) is connected, or activate the software license on the correct machine.
Compiled project generates errors related to undefined or duplicate tags
Navigate to the tag table in the WinCC flexible project and sort tags by name to identify duplicates. Check for tags referenced in screens or scripts that no longer exist in the tag table.
Remove or rename duplicate tags and re-link any broken tag references in screens and scripts. Recompile the project after corrections are made.
HMI panel shows 'No connection to PLC' alarm during runtime
Verify the PLC is powered and running. Check the communication cable between the HMI panel and PLC. Confirm that the PLC address configured in the WinCC flexible project matches the actual PLC settings.
Correct the PLC address and communication parameters in the WinCC flexible connection settings. Download the updated project to the HMI panel and restart both devices if necessary.
WinCC flexible 2008 software crashes during project compilation on Windows 7
Check the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs related to WinCC flexible. Verify that all required service packs and patches for WinCC flexible 2008 are installed.
Install the latest WinCC flexible 2008 service pack available from Siemens Industry Online Support. Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements and that no conflicting software is installed.
