Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with my RSLogix 5000 software starting in grace period mode despite having a valid license. I believe I have a relatively recent version of the FT Activation Manager installed. Is it possible that the recent Windows 10 update I installed could be causing this problem?
Which version of the project are you attempting to access? If you are looking to activate V20 or an older version, it requires a legacy license. Additionally, it appears that your support has expired. Are you trying to open a project that exceeds your current licensing agreement? It might be beneficial to reach out to Rockwell support for assistance, as their licensing processes can be intricate.
Are you having trouble opening a project in a specific version? If you are working with V20 or older, a legacy license may be necessary for activation. However, according to the license ordering guide, v20.05 does not require a legacy license. This version is the highest revision still compatible with RSLogix 5000 instead of Studio. Anything older than v20.05 will likely need the legacy license. The background window seems to resemble the newer interface of Studio 5000, not Logix. This could potentially complicate the situation, but it might be unrelated. If the license name suggests it predates the separation of 'legacy' licenses, it may be treated as a legacy license functionally. It is important to verify the version you are trying to open and if the issue persists across all versions. There was a past activation issue related to installing an early v30 release, but it was resolved quickly. Updating to the newest FT Activation Manager could potentially resolve any issues caused by a Windows patch. If further assistance is needed, reaching out to Rockwell activation support is recommended as their services are free of charge.
I appreciate your help. I will reach out to Rockwell and share the solution once I receive it.
Hey there! It’s definitely possible that the recent Windows 10 update might have affected how your FT Activation Manager interacts with RSLogix 5000. Sometimes updates can disrupt program settings or drivers. I’d suggest checking if the Activation Manager and RSLogix are both up to date, and also try running them as an administrator. If that doesn’t work, you might want to consider reinstalling the Activation Manager to refresh its configuration. Good luck!
Hey there! It’s definitely possible that the recent Windows 10 update could be causing some compatibility issues with your RSLogix 5000 or the FT Activation Manager. Sometimes updates can introduce changes that affect licensing software. I’d recommend checking for any updates or patches specifically for the activation manager or even rolling back the update to see if that resolves the issue. Also, make sure your license file is properly recognized—sometimes a reinstallation of the activation manager can help clear up any glitches. Good luck!
