Sometimes, an engineer previously configured logging and later deleted the tags, but the Archive configuration remained in the project.

To help you quickly resolve the "License Key Not Available" error for WinCC Logging on Runtime Advanced, here is a concise action plan:

: Your engineering software (WinCC Advanced) might allow you to configure logs, but the target PC where the Runtime runs must have the separate WinCC Logging for Runtime Advanced license (6AV2107-0GA00-0BB0) . : Once purchased, use the Siemens Automation License

: If you do not actually need logging, navigate to Historical data > Data logs and Alarm logs in the TIA Portal project tree and delete any configured logs, then recompile and download the project. Common False Alarms

Select your local drive, and look at the installed keys.
