Hi All! I am trying to do some programming for a customer of ours that has AB plcs. They have SLC and micrologix type plcs in their plant. I purchased RS logix 500 to install on my laptop to program with, and much to my suprise, My computer would not allow me to load this program on it. Rockwell tech support said that they do not support 64 bit software. I went out and found a netbook that was 32 bit( Most all of the new laptops are 64 bit ,with windows 7 on them like the one i already have) and had windows XP on it (which Tech Support said they supported)When I tried to load it, It said that the software does not support XP home version. I assume I will have to order and install XP Pro on my netbook. My question is, am I missing something, or is this software just over priced ****? I have programmed with compettiors software at half the price and never had any difficulty. What do other people who use AB products do when they need a computer, most of these software versions are obsolete. Thanks in advance for the help, I am beyond frustrated and going crazy trying to get something going.
