The information that's available to me from the RA Knowledgebase (LINK) () indicates that RSLogix 5000 v20 will not run with EVRSI activation.
My guess is that because you have RSLogix 5000 v20 installed that it is looking for a FactoryTalk Activation. It looks like you posted details while I was composing my reply.
TRANSFERRING RSLOGIX 5000 ACTIVATION KEY INSTALL
The other computers are not older, save the laptop, they just have had the installation done a while ago (probably a few years ago) (I have not been here 3 months and this computer was a mechanical engineers before me so RSLogix was not installed) we all use thumb drive for activation including the laptop, since there is only three of us that manage the PLCs, HMIs, and robots it is a suitable method (for now)Īlso, I am using the same install DVD that the other computers used so that isn't an issue. Yes it is EVMOVECF(W) method I posted the names of the three files in the activation folder in a prior post. The registry cleaning was after uninstalls and prior to a reinstallation.
Your first step should be to determine which activation method your older computers are actually using. RA finally stopped supporting EVRSI with RSLogix 5000 v20, but I think that RSLogix 500 has retained the ability to use the old activation method.Īt this point you've done a bunch of uninstall/reinstall and registry cleaning, so you may have done more harm than good. That RA activation "dongle" might also be thought of as a "thumb drive" the newer ones also have some storage onboard.įor a very long time, PLC logic editors like RSLogix 500 and RSLogix 5000 have supported both EVRSI and FactoryTalk activation methods.
TRANSFERRING RSLOGIX 5000 ACTIVATION KEY MAC
RA has been very slowly migrating away from EVRSI to FactoryTalk Activation, which uses a plaintext *.LIC file that's created to be tied to a specific attribute of a computer, like a hard drive Volume ID, the MAC ID of a network adapter, or a special hardware ID of a Rockwell activation "dongle". You might remember using the EVMOVECF utility to place the activation file there. It sounds like you're using the old EVRSI activation method and storing the activation file (EVRSI.SYS) on a removable USB storage device "thumb drive". Can you clarify exactly what you're doing with the "thumb drive" ?
