In a method for operating a process computer that is at least intermittently connected to a user computer that executes a configuration program that can transmit executable binary code to the process computer, there is provision for a license check. The binary code has associated license information that indicates required licenses, and the configuration program is set up to receive an explicit identification of the process computer. The configuration program supplies an authorization program with the identification and with the license information. The authorization program establishes a permissibility by checking whether the available licenses associated with the explicit identification cover the licenses required according to license information, and the configuration program transmits the executable binary code to the process computer only if the authorization program has established the permissibility. The disclosure further relates to a user computer and a computer program product.

Method for operating a computer system to authorize use of software on a process computer

An interface unit for data exchange between a first processor of a computer system and a peripheral environment. The interface unit has a number of input data channels for receiving input data from the peripheral environment and a first access management unit. The access management unit is configured to receive a request for providing the input data, stored in the number of input data channels, from a first interface processor stored in the interface unit and from a second interface processor stored in the interface unit and to provide or not to provide the input data, stored in the number of input data channels, to the first interface processor and the second interface processor. A first priority and a second priority can be stored in the first access management unit.

Interface unit for routing prioritized input data to a processor

A method for configuring an interface unit of a computer system with a first processor and a second processor stored in the interface unit. A data link is set up between the first processor and the second processor. A peripheral of the computer system is configured to store input data in an input data channel and to read output data from an output data channel, and the second processor is configured to read the input data from the input data channel and to store output data in the output data channel. A sequence of processor commands for the second processor is created such that a number of subsequences is created.

Method for configuring an interface unit of a computer system

A method for performing an inventory of the hardware components connected to a control unit test system, wherein control units can be tested with the test system in an environment simulated by the test system by means of a model, and wherein the test system comprises at least one computer) and hardware components that are connected to one another by means of at least one network. For at least a portion of the hardware components, in particular of all simulation-specific hardware components, at least one item of component information that uniquely and digitally identifies the hardware component is read therefrom, and all identifying component information that has been read out is stored.
