Do you still have to purchase RS LINX and RS Logix 5000 in addition to emulate or does emulate 5000 have all the program platform included?

There's the compatibility section on the Rockwell Site that will tell you all the compatibility issues of all their software.
SoftLogix is a software based PLC. Unlike Emulate, SoftLogix can control real I/O. The two are incompatible with each other. That is, they can't both be installed on the same computer.
But softlogix 5800 will enable me to run RS LOGIX 5000 ?
There is nothing actually named "RSLinx Lite".
RSLinx was renamed several years ago so that it is now called "RSLinx Classic". There are different versions of RSLinx Classic. Lite, Single Node, Professional, Gateway are all different versions of RSLinx Classic.
Lite is the free/bundled version and all that most people actually need. The other versions add varying levels of OPC capabilities. If you don't need OPC then RSLinx Classic Lite is all you require. SoftLogix and Emulate do not require OPC.
