I notice you're asking about "SIMATIC EKB Install 2013." This is a tool reportedly used to generate or install "know-how protection" keys and licenses for Siemens SIMATIC automation software (like Step 7, WinCC, etc.).
Here are general steps and considerations for installing SIMATIC EKB from 2013:
Key Generation: It contains a database of thousands of keys for various Siemens products and versions (e.g., TIA Portal V13, WinCC, etc.).
Lack of Support: Systems utilizing emulated licenses are ineligible for technical support from Siemens. Legal and Ethical Considerations
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- Click on the EKB source in the left pane.
- The center pane will populate with a list of available keys. This might look like a list of license types (e.g., STEP 7 Professional 2010, WinCC V7).
- Check Compatibility: Ensure the key you are trying to install matches the software version you have installed. A 2013 EKB likely has keys for Step 7 v5.5 SP2 or TIA Portal v11/v12.
