Tip

• Build number of a Windows version

To display the build number of a Windows version, open the Windows-specific Run dialog (e.g. via the [Windows] + [R] shortcut keys) and enter the winver command there. After confirmation of the entry, a dialogue with information about the operating system is opened, including the build number.

• ^X1 important notes for the approval of the patches

Due to changes in the Windows DCOM server security settings, problems may occur when using an EPLAN network license in conjunction with cross-domain use or the possibility to operate a failover.

The changes will be implemented via the security updates from Microsoft. This does not affect the use of a local license. Please update to the latest EPLAN License Client and License Manager. The latest version can be found on our web pages.

Note

The Microsoft Access Runtime component is furthermore required in order to use Access databases in the EPLAN Platform.

If you have not installed Microsoft Office or if you use Microsoft Office without Microsoft Access, you must download the Microsoft Access Runtime component as a separate download from the Microsoft Internet site.

If you use Microsoft Office with Microsoft Access, this component is installed as well depending on the respective Microsoft Office installation:

This component is contained at an installation up to and including Microsoft Office 2013 in as far as Microsoft Access is installed as well.

In the case of a "click-to-run" installation of Microsoft Office 2016 this component is not included in the installation of Microsoft Access. In this case you also have to download the Microsoft Access Runtime component.
