3. 7 FactoryTalk Activation Manager There are two types of FactoryTalk activations to activate the SoftLogix 5800 controller license node locked and concurrent Node locked Activation Node locked activation can be used only on the computer where the activation is locked that is on the personal computer for which the license was purchased The activation is always locked to a specific piece of hardware for example an Ethernet card a hard disk or a USB dongle Concurrent Activation Concurrent activation is used in a server client environment and is a type of activation that lets multiple computers across a network use Rockwell Automation software products concurrently A concurrent activation can float to or be borrowed temporarily from an activation server for a specific period of time before expiring and returning automatically to the pool of available activations on the server Concurrent activations can be borrowed only if your Rockwell Software product supports borrowed activations If you want to check out a concurrent activation from an activation server you do not need to use the Rockwell Software Activation website You can use the FactoryTalk Activation Manager to configure your client computer to recognize the activation server computer where concurrent activations are stored Rockwell Automation Publication 1789 INOO1L EN P January 2015 8 SoftLogix Controller Run the FactoryTalk Activation Man
4. There could be several reasons you might have trouble installing your activations If you accidentally requested too few concurrent activations for a product you can download more new activations for the same Host ID You cannot download more activations than you have purchased To purchase additional activations contact your local Rockwell Automation sales office If you accidentally requested too many concurrent activations for a y y req y product you must rehost all of the activations and request the correct number of activations again For example if you have 50 concurrent activations available for a product and you intended to request 10 for a particular Host ID but accidentally selected 13 in the Activations Requested list you cannot return just the three activations you didn t want You must rehost all 13 activations then download 10 activations to the correct Host ID Ifyou accidentally requested activations for the wrong Host ID computer or dongle you must rehost all of the activations you downloaded accidentally and then request the activations again for the correct Host ID Ifyou accidentally requested activations for the wrong product you must rehost all of the activations for that product and then request the activations again For example if you accidentally requested five concurrent activations for Logix Designer application instead of FactoryTalk View SE software you must rehost the five activations f
