Software update services
Order
To order the software update service, an article number must be
specified. The software update service can be ordered when the
software products are ordered or at a later date. Subsequent
orders require that the ordering party is in possession at least of
a single license.
Note:
It is recommended that the software update service is ordered
as early as possible. If a new software version of a software
product is released for delivery by Siemens, only those custom-
ers will receive it automatically who are entered in the appropri-
ate delivery list at Siemens at this time. Previous software ver-
sions, or the current software version are not supplied when the
software update service is ordered. The software update service
requires that the software product is up-to-date at the time of
completion of the contract for the software update service.
Delivery
When a software update service is ordered, you will be sent the
contractual conditions of this service and the price is due for
payment. At the same time, you will be included in a delivery list
for the software product to be updated. If Siemens releases a
new software version for the corresponding software product
for general sale (function version or product version), it will be
delivered automatically to the goods recipient specified in the
delivery address within the contract period.

Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security
functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems,
machines and networks. In order to protect plants, systems, ma-
chines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to im-
plement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art
industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions
only form one element of such a concept. Customer is responsi-
ble to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems,
machines and networks. Systems, machines and components
should only be connected to the enterprise network or the
internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate se-
curity measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation)
in place. Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate secu-
rity measures should be taken into account.

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous develop-
ment to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends
to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use
the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may in-
crease customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
