Activations

[fraviere]

Hi everybody,

I have a question I hope somebody can help me.

I  have installed RSLogix 5000 and RSView32, but I am going to change my computer in two months from now. The company needs the laptop that I have now. What happen with the licenses if I transfer them to an external hard disk without  using them for that period of time? Can I activate them later without any problem? How many times can I activate them in different PC's? And, during the time down they still run their time? I mean, the license agreement gets pause?

thank for your help.

Assuming here you're using the *new* FactoryTalk Activation... you've to do a Rehost of those licenses to the new HostID (the external Hard Disk)... no problem about the inactivity period.

If you think to not use them during that period of time, then do the rehost to delete the activations from the actual HostID and have them available in the Rockwell Activation Server; you will get those activations after two months.

If you need them also during that period of time, then you have to rehost two times, ones to the external HD, then after two months to the new PC.

Each serial number can be rehosted using the website up to three times in any 12-month period. Rehosting an activation a fourth time requires a call to Rockwell Automation Technical Support.

Hope this helps,
