Hi all,
Newish to Rockwell but very new to FT. I'm looking at getting my Rockwell VM set up with FT Activation to run some new software I got. I am a low level software user so i'm not sure how to accurately structure my request for assistance...
Until today, from within the XP VM I use master disk activated software and have been running the VM network configuration bridged to the host with the "replicate physical network connection state" check box ticked, I have RSLinx running inside the VM. I have succesfully run this way for a few months now using both DF1 and Ethernet communications.
Everything was working perfectly till I got Logix pro 8.4. Now I need to set up FT Activation. No big deal i'm hoping... But just need a little help.
So my VM can't get onto my works network as its not set up to be on the domain and never will be. So I figured I would install the FT Activation Manager on the host Win 7 PC, VPN into work (from home) and borrow the RS500P.exe license. Cool, that works.
Next I put the VM on the same subnet as the host, installed FT Activation Manager on my VM and browsed to the host PC to create the activation path where I thought it would find my borrowed license.
I cant see it.
Just to note, I can browse through to the hosts user folders from "my network places" inside the VM so I definately know that my network is working.
I read something about FT Client from a thread I searched on here but the information wasn't enough. Is that what I need on the VM???
Thanks for reading my long post.
