TwinCat 3 Software Protection Windows Login issue

I am using Twincat 3.1.4024.47 with VS Shell

I would like to use the software Protection. I know the function from a previous project and I remember that I can use the Windows password. When I use the Windows password, neither the user logs in by himself (I know this from the previous project). And even if I enter my password, the log-in does not work.

Even a thorough research has not yielded any results so far.

Maybe one of you can explain me the mechanism so that I can talk to my system administrator.

Or someone knows the problem and already has a solution

Thank you for your help

Solution

  • The issue causes on 2 issues.

    First: I entered, under Name, my Email address. There should be domain-name\user-name.

    Second: TwinCat replied with the output that “the user was found, and the password was set”.

    user editor popup

    Under name, you should enter [domain-name]\[username]

    If it doesn`t work lock at Windows -> systeminformation -> username what your full login is.
