Create a global VBScript triggered by a time-cycle tag or a specific event.

If you use a served by the Automation License Manager Server :

The error is frustrating because it often appears after everything else is working perfectly. The root cause almost always lies in the gap between what you think you licensed and what is actually installed on the runtime machine.

Is the license stored on the local hard disk (not a removable device)? Create a global VBScript triggered by a time-cycle

Sometimes, the ALM itself is the problem.

When a developer tests an HMI project using the "Start Simulation" shortcut in TIA Portal, the simulation tool mimics the target hardware exactly. If the engineering PC lacks the runtime logging license, the warning will pop up. While it can be ignored during desk testing without breaking functionality, it will block production deployment. 3. License Corruption via Improper Shutdown

If the ALM shows your Logging license but marks it as damaged, you can try to repair it. However, this is not always a simple DIY process. Is the license stored on the local hard

The most straightforward cause is that the specific license key was never purchased or transferred to the machine.

If the license exists on your engineering laptop but not on the physical industrial PC (IPC) or runtime station: Connect both computers to the same local network. Open ALM on your engineering laptop.
