3. Save the activation file or files.
Activation files must have a .lic extension. You can save the files to
the default location:
On Windows 2003 and Windows XP the default location for
FactoryTalk activation files is:.C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Shared Documents\Rockwell Automation\Activations
On Windows 7 Professional and Windows Vista the default
location for FactoryTalk activation files
is:C:\Users\Public\Documents\Rockwell
Automation\Activations"
For details, click Help in the top left corner of the page.
Protecting activation files
Activation files are simple text files that must have a .lic extension. The
activation key for RSView32 is called RSVMSGR.PRO.
As long as the .lic extension is retained, you can copy or rename an
activation file without harming it. However, tampering with text inside
the activation file can disable your Rockwell Software products.
If an activation file is damaged or deleted, contact Rockwell
Automation Technical Support.
For safekeeping, keep an original set of your activation files on backup
media. Use descriptive names for the files, so that you can identify them
later, and copy them back to the appropriate computers.
Activation files are locked to the Host IDs of the computers (or
dongles) that need them. Activation will fail for Rockwell Software
products on a computer where the specified Host ID is not recognized
by the activation file.
Installing RSView32 Runtime 1–7
Using borrowed activations
RSView32 supports borrowed activations for development computers.
A borrowed activation is retrieved from a pool of available activations
on the activation server, and expires after a specified length of time.
Once a borrowed activation is checked out to a particular computer,
the computer can disconnect from the network. When the time limit
expires, the associated software on the computer is no longer activated,
and the activation automatically becomes available again from the
server’s activation pool. A borrowed activation can also be returned to
the activation server manually before the time limit expires.
To borrow activations from a server:
1. Connect your computer to the network where the activation server
is located.
2. Run the FactoryTalk Activation Manager and then click the
Manager Activations tab.
3. Click the Manage Activations tab, and then click Borrow
Activations tab.To borrow a single activation, click the checkbox
that corresponds to the activation you want to borrow, and then
click Set Borrow Term. To borrow more than one activation, click
additional checkboxes for the activations you want to borrow and
then click Borrow. If you do not see the activations you want to
borrow, click I Don’t See My Activation Here. The Activations
in gray may not be selected as they are already borrowed by your
computer.
4. In the Set Borrow Term window, set the time of the return by
entering a calendar date, net number of days, or approximate hours
(shift). The default Calendar date is the maximum borrow term for
the activation or group of activations.
To return a borrowed activation before it expires:
1. Connect to the network and run the FactoryTalk Activation
Manager.
2. On the Manage Activations tab, click Return Activations, select
the borrowed activations you want to return.
3. Click the Return Activations button.
