Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DV08-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software portfolio. WinCC flexible 2008 is an engineering software platform used to configure and program SIMATIC HMI panels, including the OP, TP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. It serves as the central tool for creating visualization projects, screen layouts, and communication configurations for human-machine interface devices.

WinCC flexible 2008 provides a comprehensive engineering environment with a tag-based data model, script support via VBScript, and integrated alarm, trend, and recipe management. The software supports a wide range of communication drivers enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs, as well as third-party controllers via OPC and other standard protocols. It includes simulation capabilities allowing projects to be tested on a PC without physical hardware, and supports multi-language project engineering for international deployments.

WinCC flexible 2008 is used across a broad range of industries including manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and water treatment. It is particularly suited for machine-level HMI applications where SIMATIC panels are integrated into automated production lines, packaging machines, and process control systems. The software is compatible with the full range of SIMATIC HMI hardware available at the time of its release, making it a standard engineering tool for system integrators and OEMs working within the Siemens automation ecosystem.

Common Error Codes and Software Events

Error 1920: License not found or license server unreachable during software startup.
Verify that the license key (dongle or software license) is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Error 1935: Installation error related to missing or corrupt Microsoft .NET Framework or Visual C++ runtime components.
Ensure all required Microsoft prerequisites (.NET Framework, Visual C++ redistributables) are installed before running the WinCC flexible 2008 setup.
Communication Error: No connection established between WinCC flexible engineering station and the target HMI panel during download.
Check the communication cable and interface settings (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet). Verify the correct transfer channel is selected in the project settings and that the panel is in transfer mode.
Compile Error: Project compilation fails due to inconsistent tag references or missing screen objects.
Review the output window for specific object or tag references causing the error. Correct invalid tag connections or missing resources and recompile the project.
Download Error: Project download to HMI panel is interrupted or fails to complete.
Ensure the panel has sufficient free memory for the project. Check that the WinCC flexible runtime version on the panel matches the project version. Perform a panel reset if necessary before re-downloading.
Simulation Abort: Integrated simulation terminates unexpectedly during project testing.
Check for unsupported functions or script errors in the project. Review VBScript code for runtime exceptions and ensure the PC meets minimum system requirements for simulation.
Version Conflict: Project was created with a different version of WinCC flexible and cannot be opened directly.
Use the project migration wizard within WinCC flexible 2008 to convert the project from an older version. Back up the original project before migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels available at the time of release, including the OP 77, TP 177, MP 277, MP 377, and Mobile Panel 177 series, among others.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2008 was designed for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10, and compatibility issues may arise when attempting installation on newer operating systems.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 communicate with non-Siemens PLCs?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 supports OPC DA communication, allowing connectivity to third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide an OPC server interface.

Does this license include WinCC flexible Runtime?

The 6AV6371-1DV08-0AX0 is an engineering software license. Runtime licenses for HMI panels are separate and are typically pre-installed on the SIMATIC HMI hardware or ordered as separate line items.

Can projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible projects, though some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the project and the target panel type.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is present and assigned to the local machine.

Transfer or reinstall the software license using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is connected and recognized by the operating system before launching the software.

Project download to HMI panel fails with a connection timeout

Verify the physical connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Check that the correct communication interface (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) and transfer settings are configured in both the project and the panel's control panel.

Set the HMI panel to transfer mode manually, confirm the correct COM port or network adapter is selected in WinCC flexible, and retry the download. Replace the communication cable if hardware faults are suspected.

Compilation errors appear when building the project

Review the compiler output window for specific error messages referencing tags, screens, or scripts. Identify any broken tag links or references to deleted objects.

Correct all invalid tag references, remove or repair broken screen object links, and ensure all VBScripts are free of syntax errors before recompiling.

Simulation does not reflect the correct screen behavior

Check whether the simulation is using the correct project version and that all tags used in the simulation are properly configured with initial values or simulated data sources.

Configure simulation tags with appropriate test values using the integrated tag simulation table. Ensure no external PLC connection is required for the screens under test.

WinCC flexible 2008 installation fails on the engineering PC

Check the Windows Event Viewer for installation error codes. Confirm that all prerequisite software components, including the correct .NET Framework version and Visual C++ runtimes, are installed.

Install all required Microsoft prerequisites as listed in the WinCC flexible 2008 release notes, then re-run the setup as an administrator. Disable antivirus software temporarily during installation if conflicts are detected.
