Hi To extract the software from an OP you need a program called prosave. This will take a copy of the software but you cannot edit it, only download it into another OP. THIS link should show you what to do. BUT, if you plan to replace it with a newer screen, you'll probably need to rewrite the software anyway and possibly think about a different comm setup. The screens are more like pcs now with siemens latest range available HERE. There are still places that will repair your screen, do a bit of googling. I'm told siemens still repair them. HTH
