I have developed my project using WINCC version 7.3, and I recently acquired a USB dongle for the WINCC version 14 Runtime license. Will the WINCC Advanced Runtime License for version 14 be applicable to my WINCC 7.3 project? I would appreciate your assistance. Thank you!
Regrettably, the answer is no. WinCC Advanced and WinCC version 7 are distinct products that serve different purposes.
Thank you, Jesper, for your response! I’m currently considering upgrading my project from WINCC 7.3 to WINCC 14. However, I have a few questions that need clarification: 1. Is it feasible to successfully migrate a project from WINCC 7.3 to WINCC 14? I would greatly appreciate your assistance!
Absolutely, migrating your project is feasible using the TIA Portal Migration Tool. To get started, download and install the migration tool from your installation source. If you're using version 14 without Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can directly migrate from version 7.3. However, when I attempted the migration using version 14 with SP1, I received a prompt to first upgrade my version 7.3 project to at least version 7.4 Update 3 or a later version. Make sure you follow these steps for a smooth migration process!
Please note that the latest version available is V15. To utilize the V15 migration tool effectively, it is essential to upgrade your WinCC project from version V7.3 to V7.4 SP1.
Subject: Upgrade to WinCC Professional for Optimal Results Hello, It seems that the original poster (OP) will need to upgrade their license to WinCC Professional. Unfortunately, converting a WinCC 7.3 or 7.4 project to WinCC Advanced is not feasible. Best regards,

Answer: A1: No, you cannot use a WINCC version 14 Runtime license for a project developed in WINCC version 7.3. The licenses for different versions of WINCC are not backwards compatible. You will need a runtime license that specifically matches the version of WINCC you are using.
Answer: A2: You will need to acquire a runtime license that is compatible with WINCC version 7.3 to run your project. Alternatively, you could consider upgrading your project to be compatible with WINCC version 14, if feasible, and then use the version 14 license.
Answer: A3: Yes, it is possible to upgrade your WINCC 7.3 project to a later version. However, this process might require adjustments and testing to ensure compatibility. It is recommended to consult the official documentation or support from Siemens for guidance on upgrading projects between different versions of WINCC.
