The combo license enables engineering to be performed both on the STEP 7 V 5.x and the STEP 7 V17 platform. The user receives a combo license when upgrading from STEP 7 V5.x.Existing STEP 7 Professional licenses of versions V11-V16 can be upgraded to V17.The number of licenses acquired determines the number of computers on which the software can be used simultaneously. This means one user per license can use the software independently of the computer used and without being tied to a specific workstation.

The floating license allows the software to be used on any number of computers.

STEP 7 Professional V17 is supplied with a STEP 7 Professional V17 floating license.
