I am looking to transfer the licenses for my RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000, and RSLinx Classic to a new computer. However, I am unable to locate any activations in the FactoryTalk Activation Manager. What steps can I take to rehost these licenses? Your assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Leonunez inquired about transferring licenses for RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000, and RSLinx Classic to a different computer. However, they encountered an issue with the FactoryTalk Activation Manager showing no activations. They are seeking guidance on how to rehost the licenses and would appreciate any assistance. One recommended solution is to try using a HASP Dongle from Rockwell.
I have licenses for certain software currently installed on my laptop, but I need to reformat it and rehost the licenses for reactivation. However, the factorytalk activation manager is not displaying any activations. How can I successfully rehost them after reformatting my laptop?
After obtaining software licenses, it's crucial to ensure the programs are running smoothly on your laptop. Confirm the activations are still active on the device, and locate the directory where they are stored. Additionally, verify that the activation manager is pointing to the correct location for seamless operation.
Are you certain that you have FT Activation or are using the old method? It is also possible for your computer to act as a client of the license server. Please provide a screenshot of the FT Act Manager page for further assistance.
If you originally used a master disk for your license and are now utilizing FT Activation Manager, please reach out to Activation Support. They can assist in transferring your license number to an Activation File. I recently went through this process and received a product sheet via email containing my Serial Number and a New Product Key Code. After waiting one hour for a system update, I proceeded with the regular activation for a new product. Simply use FT Manager to generate a Host ID and XML file, visit the website to upload the file, and input your serial number and product key code to complete the process. It is recommended to submit your request through the Chat feature, which requires logging in. Avoid rehosting your activations until this process is completed to prevent removal of your current activation files.
It sounds like you're having some trouble with the FactoryTalk Activation Manager. First, make sure your old and new computers are connected to a network. You can then use FactoryTalk Activation Manager on your old computer to rehost the license. Simply open the program, click Manage Activations, then Rehost Activations. Your activations should then be listed. Select the ones you want to transfer, rehost them, and then using FactoryTalk on your new computer, pull the now available license to the new PC. Don't forget to have your original serial numbers at hand just in case.
Hey! You might need to rehost your licenses on the old computer first before transferring them. To do this, simply launch the FactoryTalk Activation Manager on your old PC, then select 'Manage Activations' -> 'Rehost Activations', and follow the instructions. Once done, use the same license files to activate the software on your new computer. Please remember both computers should be connected to the internet during this process. If you're unable to see any activations at all, it's possible they might be tied to your hardware dongle or a FlexNet server if your company uses one. If the issue persists, you may want to reach out to Rockwell's technical support.
It sounds like you’re having a frustrating time with the license transfer! Have you tried checking if the licenses were tied to your FactoryTalk account? Sometimes, going through the FactoryTalk Activation Manager and ensuring you're logged in with the right account can help. If it still doesn't show up, you might want to reach out to Rockwell Automation's support for assistance—they're usually pretty helpful with activation issues. Good luck!
