Hi guys.
I have left Rockwell support a message and waiting for a call back, hopefully this evening.. but want to ask fellow PLC'ers for advice.
We have a Scada PC that runs a Citect Scada and RSlogix 5000.
The PC has died due to lightning damage.
Hard disk pulled out/put into similar PC, everything working. A few issues with a few signals on the Control Logix, I want to look at the code, try to run RS logix - copy protection error as new hardware - arrh!
OK, no problem, insert floppy disk and run reset activation, call Rockwell. Plant will be running again. The problem is we can't find the 3.5 activation disk.
Am I correct in saying that the only way Rockwell will be able to get RSlogix 5000 running is post out a replacement floppy disk with approx $50-$100 charge? Cant remember the RSlogix 5000 version but was installed approx start 2007.
Is there any way of them getting it running tonight or 1st thing tomorrow? - is there a temporary activation they can do until we receive the floppy disk for activation?
Take it the activation file will still be on the hard disk but not matched to the hardware now.
Thanks Matt
