Lock command

Select the Lock command to lock a routine or an Add-On Instruction that is protected by License Source Protection. A locked component does not require the source license to open the project or run the component. A locked component ensures secure distribution. To view or edit a locked component, an authorized user must unlock the component.
TIP: To lock or unlock a component, the source license must be present on a CmStick plugged into the computer running the Logix Designer application, and the license must contain the View permission. On CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, and ControlLogix 5580 controllers, a source license is not required to open, import, upload, or download a project containing a License-Protected component.
