Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1JV38-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible SCADA and HMI engineering software family. This part number corresponds to the WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 or a specific runtime/engineering edition within the 2008 generation, designed for configuring and commissioning Siemens HMI panels including the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. It serves as the central engineering tool for creating visualization projects deployed on Siemens SIMATIC HMI hardware.

WinCC flexible 2008 provides a comprehensive engineering environment with a tag-based project structure, integrated script editor (VBScript), and support for a wide range of communication drivers. It supports connectivity to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET). The software includes features such as alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, user administration, and multi-language project support. It is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems depending on the service pack level.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process industries, and machine building for developing operator interface projects on Siemens HMI panels. It is particularly suited for OEMs and system integrators who need to configure and maintain HMI applications across a broad installed base of Siemens SIMATIC panels. The software is also used in retrofit and modernization projects where existing WinCC flexible projects require updating or migration.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1920: License not found or license server unreachable during software startup.
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license dongle is connected or the software license is properly transferred to the engineering PC.
Error 1722: Windows Installer package error during installation, indicating a problem with the installer or missing prerequisites.
Ensure all required Microsoft prerequisites (e.g., .NET Framework, MSXML) are installed. Run the installer as Administrator and check the installation log for the specific failing component.
Compiler Error: Tag limit exceeded: The number of configured tags in the project exceeds the limit permitted by the installed license edition.
Reduce the number of tags in the project or upgrade the WinCC flexible license to a higher tag-count edition.
Communication Error: No connection to PLC: The HMI runtime or simulation cannot establish a connection to the configured PLC.
Check communication cable connections, verify PLC address settings in the project, confirm the correct communication driver is selected, and ensure the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Transfer Error: Device not reachable: Project transfer to the target HMI panel fails because the panel cannot be reached over the configured interface.
Confirm the transfer channel settings (Ethernet IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address) match the panel configuration. Ensure the panel is in Transfer mode and the network connection is active.
Consistency Check Error: Object reference missing: A project object (e.g., screen, tag, or alarm) references another object that has been deleted or renamed.
Run the project consistency check from the Project menu, review the error list, and correct or re-link all broken references before recompiling.
Runtime Error: Script execution failed: A VBScript in the project encountered a runtime error during execution on the HMI panel or in simulation.
Review the script code for syntax or logic errors. Use the simulation environment to step through the script and check variable values. Correct the script and retransfer the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the TP (Touch Panel), OP (Operator Panel), MP (Multi Panel), and Mobile Panel series. It does not support the newer Comfort Panels, which require WinCC flexible 2012 or TIA Portal.

Which PLCs can be connected using 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 PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet. Third-party PLCs can also be connected using available OPC or serial drivers.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not officially supported on Windows 10. It was designed for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Running it on Windows 10 may cause installation or runtime issues.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 projects can be migrated to TIA Portal using the integrated migration tool available in TIA Portal. However, not all objects and functions migrate automatically, and manual rework is typically required.

What is the Automation License Manager (ALM) and is it required?

The Siemens Automation License Manager is a tool used to manage software licenses for Siemens automation software including WinCC flexible. It is required to activate and verify the license for 6AV6371-1JV38-0AX0 before the software can be used.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to install on the engineering PC

Check the installation log file for the specific error. Verify that the operating system version is supported (Windows XP/Vista/7) and that all prerequisites such as .NET Framework and MSXML are present.

Install all required prerequisites listed in the WinCC flexible 2008 readme file. Run the setup executable as Administrator. If a previous version is installed, uninstall it cleanly before reinstalling.

License error appears at startup and software runs in demo mode

Open the Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is listed and assigned to the local computer.

Transfer the correct license to the engineering PC using ALM. If using a USB license dongle, ensure it is connected and recognized by Windows. Contact Siemens support if the license key is corrupted or lost.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails with a connection error

Verify the transfer settings in WinCC flexible match the panel's configured IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address. Check that the panel is set to Transfer mode and that the physical network or cable connection is intact.

Correct the IP address or bus address in the transfer settings. Ensure the panel is in Transfer mode (accessible via the panel's Start Center or Control Panel). Test the network connection by pinging the panel's IP address from the engineering PC.

Simulation of the project does not start or crashes immediately

Check whether the SIMATIC WinCC flexible Runtime simulation component is installed. Review the Windows Event Viewer for application errors related to the simulation executable.

Reinstall the WinCC flexible 2008 software ensuring the simulation component is selected during installation. Verify that no conflicting software or firewall rules are blocking the simulation process.

Tags show no values or communication errors in runtime on the HMI panel

Verify the PLC communication settings in the project (IP address, rack/slot number, or MPI address). Confirm the PLC is running and the network connection between the HMI panel and PLC is active.

Correct the connection parameters in the WinCC flexible project and retransfer to the panel. Check physical cabling and switch/router configuration. Ensure the correct communication driver is installed on the panel.
