I got a Siemens simatic for free. Which software do I need to program it ?
For s7-1200 you need TIA portal. Currently V17. There is a 30day trial option available for download and use if you want to try it out. (This is for the PLC and HMI) Also if the firmware is >v2.0 you can update it to V4.4 and then you will have access to MQTT functionality, which makes it easier to interface forwards and backwards with various other home automation, including home-assistant. Edit: Don't think the s7-1200 is programmable via USB, only ethernet so that USB tool may be for something else, unless you have a COMM addon module. Ethernet will still be quicker and easier.

What software is needed to program Siemens Simatic S7-1200 PLC? Brewery start up help..
You'll need TIA portal with Step 7 Basic, which is about $300, without a year of software updates. Otherwise, the 21 day free trial should work for you. If you're going to buy it in the future, work on trying to download the trial now. If you don't have a Siemens Industry Mall account, you'll have to wait for export verification, which can take a few days. Or, I certainly know at least one programmer with a TIA Portal license who likes trying new beer... More on reddit.com

r/PLC on Reddit: What software is needed to program Siemens Simatic S7-1200 PLC? Brewery start up help..

I'm a Controls Engineer and have exclusively used Allen Bradley for 8 years. Outside of my job, I was asked by a new start up brewery if I could help with some PLC and HMI issues they are having. I'm anxious to lend a hand, but unfortunately it's all Siemens and I don't have any experience with it. I'm sure I'll be fine once I'm able to communication with the PLC, but the software and license are my concern. My biggest hurdle is determining what software I need and hopefully finding a free version I can use. The PLC is a Simatic S7-1200. I found a link on Siemens for a free 21 day trial for TIA Portal and WinCC, but wanted to make sure that was my best option. If anyone could offer any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
