€ 1.383,00
The Siemens 6AV6371-1AJ10-0AX0 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 product line and is designed for use with the full range of Siemens operator panels and touch-screen devices.
WinCC flexible 2008 offers a comprehensive set of engineering tools for creating HMI visualizations, including tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and report generation. The software supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via standard interfaces such as MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet. It includes a scalable project structure allowing migration from smaller panel projects up to full SCADA-level applications, and supports multi-language project configuration for international deployments.
WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, packaging machinery, and material handling systems. It is suitable for machine builders and system integrators who require a standardized HMI engineering platform across a range of Siemens panel hardware. The software is particularly valued in industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment where reliable visualization and operator control are essential.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Error 1
- License not found or invalid license key detected during software startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary. - Error 2
- Project compilation error due to inconsistent tag configuration
Open the project in the WinCC flexible engineering environment, navigate to the tag table, and resolve all highlighted inconsistencies before recompiling. - Error 3
- Communication connection to PLC cannot be established
Check the configured communication driver and connection parameters (IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address). Verify physical cable connections and PLC availability. - Error 4
- Runtime startup failure on target panel
Ensure the correct runtime version is installed on the target panel. Transfer the project again using the correct transfer settings and verify panel compatibility. - Error 5
- Alarm archive database full or corrupted
Clear or archive old alarm data. If the database is corrupted, restore from a backup or reinitialize the alarm archive in the project settings. - Error 6
- Recipe data transfer error between HMI and PLC
Check the recipe configuration for correct tag assignments and data types. Verify that the PLC data blocks referenced by the recipe are accessible and correctly structured. - Error 7
- Screen object rendering failure due to unsupported graphics format
Replace the affected graphic objects with supported formats (BMP, JPG, or WMF). Recompile and retransfer the project to the target device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Siemens HMI panels are compatible with WinCC flexible 2008?
WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. It is also compatible with PC-based runtime environments running on standard industrial PCs.
Which PLCs can communicate with a project created in WinCC flexible 2008?
WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces. Third-party PLC communication is possible via OPC DA.
Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?
Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that allows WinCC flexible 2008 projects to be imported and converted. Some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the original project.
What operating systems are supported for running WinCC flexible 2008?
WinCC flexible 2008 is supported on Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit editions). It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or later operating systems.
Does 6AV6371-1AJ10-0AX0 include both engineering and runtime licenses?
The 6AV6371-1AJ10-0AX0 is an engineering software package. Runtime licenses for target panels are typically included with the panel hardware itself or purchased separately depending on the panel type.
Troubleshooting
WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start and displays a license error
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is present and not expired or moved to an unavailable drive.
Transfer or reinstall the license using the ALM tool. Ensure the license is stored on a fixed local drive and not on a removable or network drive that may be unavailable at startup.
Project cannot be transferred to the target HMI panel
Check the transfer settings in WinCC flexible for correct interface selection (Ethernet or USB). Verify that the panel is in transfer mode and that the PC firewall is not blocking the connection.
Set the panel to transfer mode manually via the panel's Start Center. Disable any PC firewall temporarily during transfer, and ensure the correct IP address or COM port is configured in the transfer settings.
Runtime on the HMI panel shows communication errors with the PLC
Verify the PLC connection parameters configured in the WinCC flexible project, including the PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS node address. Check physical network or bus connections.
Correct the connection parameters in the project and retransfer. Replace or reseat communication cables. Confirm the PLC is powered and in RUN mode with the correct network configuration.
Alarm system does not display or log alarms at runtime
Check the alarm configuration in the project for correct trigger tag assignments and threshold values. Verify that the alarm archive is enabled and that sufficient storage space is available on the panel.
Correct any misconfigured alarm triggers and recompile the project. Clear old archive data if storage is full, and retransfer the updated project to the panel.
WinCC flexible 2008 engineering software crashes during project compilation
Check the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs related to WinCC flexible. Large or complex projects with many tags or screens can cause memory issues on systems with limited RAM.
Ensure the engineering PC meets the minimum RAM requirements (at least 1 GB, 2 GB recommended). Close other applications during compilation. If the issue persists, repair the WinCC flexible installation via the Windows Control Panel.
