Important note

It is planned to discontinue STEP 7 V13 (SP2) and V14 (SP1) on 01.10.2021.
From this date, no more security updates will be made available for these versions.
In addition, the trial download in the online support will no longer be available from then on.

TIA Portal project versions V13 SP1 to V16 are upgraded with TIA Portal V17 to the project version V17.
If you need to edit a TIA Portal project version V13 SP1 to V16,
we recommend an additional installation of the corresponding software for TIA Portal V17.
The license purchased for V17 is also valid for all older TIA Portal versions.

Program code and hardware configuration from STEP 7 V5.4 SP5 can be migrated directly
to a TIA Portal V17 project with STEP 7 V17.
