I am a beginner learning to program PLCs and I use the simulator all the time. I tried reinstalling it but nothing happens. When I open it and it just doesnt respond. Press Esc to return to the main driver window. After installing TIA Portal and activating some licenses S7-PLCSIM V5.6 doesnt work anymore. Make sure S7-300 (V5) is selected on the Model drop-down list.
