What has Changed Compared to Version STEP 7 V5.6 SP2?

HW Config
• Adding connections via command interface has been improved.
• The configuration of Safety modules via GSD has been improved.
• It is now once again possible to configure I devices in shared mode.
• Restricted use of scripts in the STEP 7 command interface on Windows 10
Due to thread synchronization problems when automatically saving STEP 7 user data, Visual Basic script applications can experience sporadic crashes (possibly with data loss). Therefore, the command interface is currently only partially suitable for such applications. Unpredictable errors can occur, especially with nested loop operations. It is highly recommended that you avoid such use cases and use Visual Basic scripts only with care and caution.
• As of this Hotfix: When uploading certain device configurations, the IP address was corrupted. This has now been corrected.

Programming LAD/STL/FBD blocks
• The function "Check and Update Accesses" has been improved.

STEP7 v5.6 Basis license: WORKS
STEP7 v5.6 Professional license: DOES NOT WORK
STEP7 v14 Professional Combo license: DOES NOT WORK
