Hi guys. I us e4 different versions of logix at the moment, all was well until today when I've had to uninstall 1 version to allow me to use another I needed to download. I need to start using vm's.
I've donwloaded VM ware workstation pro 16, and I've just purchased a Windows 10 pro licence key.
Furthermore, I've got some questions.
1. Every time I wish to create a new VM do I have to build a windows machine from my key inside first or is there a quicker way? It's just taken me a fair while to build 6 VMs you see.
2. How do I now put different versions of logix onto each of them? Do I treat it like a normal pc and download the software I want, rehost my Rockwell licences from my host machine to the vm, let it download then take a snapshot? Then rehost my Rockwell licences to the next VM and repeat the process for all the versions I require?
ETA:
Just noticed the clone function. I've cloned my original bare Windows 10 VM for future software additions.
I've hosted them all on a 1TB external SSD, but it keeps warning me I could lose data. Should I put them all onto separate HDD's?
Sorry if these are stupid questions I'm a fairly confused and this is my first time using VMSs.
