For a complete overview of source, license, and execution protection, consult the
Logix 5000
 Controllers Security Programming Manual (1756-PM016).
Source key protection:
  • Protects components using existing source keys.
  • You can optionally allow source-protected components to be available in a read-only format on a system that does not have the source key required for access.
    IMPORTANT:
    The source key name is used to further protect the value of the source key.
    • If you assign a name to a source key using the
      Apply Source Key
       dialog box, the source key name is displayed on the
      Source Key Configuration
       dialog box and the
      Apply Source Key
       dialog box instead of the source key.
    • If you do not assign a name to the source key, some of the source key characters are masked in the user interface.
    • If the source key is not available,
      Unknown Source Key
       is displayed on the user interface.
License Source Protection:
  • Protects components with specific licenses.
Execution protection:
  • Protects components so that they can be executed only on a controller that contains the required Execution license.
    TIP:
    Execution Protection and component locking is supported only on
    CompactLogix
     5380,
    CompactLogix
     5480, and
    ControlLogix
     5580 controllers in this version of the
    Logix Designer
     application.
