Do i need new license or i can able to convert vijeo 7.5 license to aveva 2023

  • Hi  

    What license does the customer currently have? If it is a USB key, it should be possible to get an upgrade code to update the license to the latest version. Please contact your local AVEVA sales contact to get more information about the license update.

    Is there any reason why they have decided on Plant SCADA 2023? It is advised to upgrade to Plant SCADA 2023 R2 (v8.50), as it will have a longer support lifecycle and receive updates for longer into the future.

    There is an upgrade guide available which will walk you through some of the steps required. Do you know if they require zero downtime during the upgrade? If so, the will need to do an online upgrade which may require more steps (hop between the different versions to ensure all data is converted and a success). If they can manage a small downtime they can do an "offline" upgrade or have the ability to put in a parallel system, then it should be very straight forward to get project backup, restore in the new version, fix compile issues, restore old trend and alarm data, then startup the new runtime system.

    Here is the upgrade guide:

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Kind regards
