Feature content level (upgrade functions)
Along with software options, significant further improvements of the 
TNC software are managed via the Feature Content Level (FCL) 
upgrade functions. Functions subject to the FCL are not available 
simply by updating the software on your TNC. 
Upgrade functions are identified in the manual with FCL n, where n 
indicates the sequential number of the feature content level.
You can purchase a code number in order to permanently enable the 
FCL functions. For more information, contact your machine tool 
builder or HEIDENHAIN.
All upgrade functions are available to you without 
surcharge when you receive a new machine.
