License Repository

You can use the icon for the general controls in the top right of the WAGO Device Manager. The license repository shows all licenses available on connected devices or on the PC to meet the license requirements of devices. New licenses can be added to the license repository using the corresponding buttons or (if not assigned/bound/activated) removed from the license repository.
