€ 637,58
The Siemens 6AV6371-1HB08-0AX0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC, Siemens' professional SCADA and HMI runtime software platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a specific power tag count, designed to run on standard PC hardware under Windows operating systems. WinCC is part of the Siemens SIMATIC automation software family and serves as a central visualization and process control solution.
WinCC provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trend displays, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and OPC UA, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers. The software includes a robust scripting environment (VBScript and C-Script), a powerful tag management system, and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. The runtime environment is optimized for stable, long-term industrial operation.
SIMATIC WinCC is widely deployed in process industries such as water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments. It is suitable for applications requiring centralized monitoring and control of complex plant processes with large numbers of I/O tags. Its scalability from small standalone installations to large distributed multi-server architectures makes it applicable across a broad range of plant sizes and complexity levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tag count for this WinCC license (6AV6371-1HB08-0AX0)?
The part number 6AV6371-1HB08-0AX0 corresponds to a SIMATIC WinCC Runtime license. The exact power tag count is encoded in the part number variant; consult the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data to confirm the specific tag count for this SKU.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
SIMATIC WinCC Runtime licenses in the 6AV6371 series are typically perpetual software licenses tied to a specific hardware dongle or software activation key.
Which PLCs are compatible with this WinCC Runtime license?
WinCC Runtime is compatible with the full range of SIMATIC S7 PLCs (S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500) via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or MPI, and also supports third-party controllers via OPC interfaces.
Can this WinCC license be used in a redundant server configuration?
Yes, SIMATIC WinCC supports redundant server configurations, but a separate redundancy license option is required in addition to the base Runtime license.
What Windows versions are supported by SIMATIC WinCC?
SIMATIC WinCC Runtime supports Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows Server editions as specified by Siemens for the respective WinCC version; older versions may support Windows 7. Always verify compatibility with the specific WinCC version supplied.
Troubleshooting
WinCC Runtime fails to start after installation
Check the Windows Event Viewer for application errors. Verify that the software license dongle or activation key is correctly installed and recognized by the system. Confirm that the installed WinCC version matches the license version.
Reinstall the license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the hardware dongle is connected and drivers are installed, or reactivate the software license through ALM if using a software-based key.
Communication loss between WinCC and S7 PLC
Check the network connection and verify the configured PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address in the WinCC Tag Management. Use SIMATIC NET diagnostics tools to test the communication channel.
Correct the communication channel configuration in WinCC, verify network settings, and ensure the correct SIMATIC NET communication drivers are installed and running as Windows services.
Alarm archiving stops recording new alarms
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Review the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration for archive size limits or segmentation settings.
Free up disk space or reconfigure the archive segmentation and backup settings in WinCC Alarm Logging to prevent the archive from reaching its size limit.
WinCC project cannot be opened after a Windows update
Windows updates can affect SIMATIC NET drivers or WinCC service dependencies. Check the WinCC diagnostic log files located in the WinCC installation directory for specific error messages.
Reinstall or repair the SIMATIC NET communication software and WinCC installation. In some cases, rolling back the Windows update or applying a Siemens-recommended patch may be required.
OPC DA/UA client cannot connect to WinCC OPC server
Verify that the WinCC OPC server service is running in Windows Services. Check firewall rules and DCOM configuration settings, which are commonly required for OPC DA connectivity.
Configure DCOM permissions correctly using dcomcnfg, open the required firewall ports, and ensure the WinCC OPC server is enabled in the WinCC project settings.
