Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1KG08-0AX4 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides a comprehensive SCADA and HMI configuration environment used to create, commission, and maintain visualization projects for Siemens HMI panels and operator interfaces. It belongs to the broader SIMATIC HMI product line and is designed for use on standard engineering PCs running compatible Windows operating systems.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering framework supporting the full range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels, from Micro Panels up to multi-panel and PC-based runtime systems. The software includes tools for tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and script-based automation using VBScript. It supports integration with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and WinAC controllers via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet communication interfaces, and is compatible with the STEP 7 engineering environment for seamless project data exchange.

This software is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, and machine building industries where Siemens HMI panels such as the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series are deployed. It is particularly suited for OEMs and system integrators who need a unified engineering tool to configure operator interfaces across multiple machine types. The scalable licensing model allows engineers to work on projects ranging from simple single-panel installations to complex distributed HMI architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1920: Software license not found or license key missing during startup
Verify that the license key (AuthorsW/SIMATIC Automation Tool) is correctly installed using the Automation License Manager. Reinstall the license if necessary.
Error 1722: Windows Installer package error during software installation
Ensure the installation is run with administrator privileges. Check that the target PC meets minimum system requirements and that no conflicting software versions are installed.
Communication Error: No connection established between engineering PC and HMI panel during download
Check the physical cable connection (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet). Verify correct communication interface settings in the project properties and confirm the panel IP address or MPI address matches the configuration.
License Expired: Trial or temporary license has expired, preventing project compilation or download
Obtain and install a valid permanent license via the Siemens Automation License Manager. Contact Siemens or an authorized distributor for license renewal.
Compatibility Error: Project created in a newer version of WinCC flexible cannot be opened in WinCC flexible 2008
Downgrade the project using the original engineering software version, or upgrade the installed WinCC flexible version to match the project version.
Runtime Transfer Error: Project download to HMI panel fails mid-transfer
Check USB or network cable integrity. Ensure the HMI panel has sufficient free memory. Restart both the engineering PC and the HMI panel and retry the download.
Tag Limit Exceeded: Number of configured tags exceeds the license or panel limit
Review the tag configuration and reduce the number of tags to within the licensed limit. Consider upgrading to a higher-tier WinCC flexible license if more tags are required.

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 Micro Panels, TP (Touch Panel), OP (Operator Panel), MP (Multi Panel), and Mobile Panel series. It does not support the newer Comfort Panel series, which requires WinCC (TIA Portal).

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not natively integrated into TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 can be migrated to WinCC in TIA Portal using the migration tool provided by Siemens, but direct editing within TIA Portal requires migration.

What communication protocols does WinCC flexible 2008 support?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet (TCP/IP) for communication between the engineering PC and SIMATIC controllers or HMI panels. Additional protocol support depends on the connected panel hardware.

What operating systems are compatible with 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 without compatibility workarounds.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 be used with SIMATIC S7-1200 or S7-1500 controllers?

WinCC flexible 2008 has limited or no native support for S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers. These newer controller families are designed to be used with WinCC in TIA Portal for HMI configuration.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start after installation and displays a license error

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

Install the correct license using the Automation License Manager. If the license is on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected. If the license is missing, contact Siemens or an authorized partner to obtain a replacement.

Project download to HMI panel fails with a communication error

Check the connection type configured in the project (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) and verify that the physical cable is connected and the correct PC adapter or network interface is selected in the transfer settings.

Correct the communication interface settings in WinCC flexible 2008 under Transfer settings. Ensure the HMI panel is in Transfer mode and that the PC adapter (e.g., PC Adapter USB) drivers are correctly installed.

WinCC flexible 2008 crashes or freezes during project compilation

Check available RAM and disk space on the engineering PC. Large projects with many tags, screens, or scripts can exceed system resources on older hardware.

Close unnecessary background applications to free memory. If the issue persists, increase virtual memory allocation in Windows system settings or migrate the project to a PC with higher specifications.

Existing project cannot be opened and displays a version mismatch error

The project was likely created or last saved in a newer version of WinCC flexible (e.g., WinCC flexible 2008 SP3) than the currently installed version.

Install the latest available service pack for WinCC flexible 2008 from the Siemens support portal to ensure compatibility with projects saved in later service pack versions.

HMI panel shows outdated screen content after project download

The panel may have retained cached data from a previous project, or the download was incomplete due to a communication interruption.

Perform a full download (not delta download) from WinCC flexible 2008 to overwrite all panel data. If the issue persists, reset the HMI panel to factory defaults and repeat the full download.
