In the process of moving into a new windows7 desktop PC, I rehosted three licenses from my old machine using the existing version of FactoryTalk Activation Tool (no "help about" msgbox for version number, Control Panel Add/Remove Programs lists FactoryTalk Activation Client 3.01, CPR 9 SR 1) .
Then on the new machine, after installing and testing all the necessary software and running it successfully with the grace period warning, I downloaded and installed the latest version of FactoryTalk Activation Manager 3.40.00, and went through the somewhat different process to retrieve the files.
When I enter the information and follow all the step, I am told that there are 0 licenses available. it seems I am missing a step somewhere, but I am not sure what. By the way, I did this on a Saturday morning if that makes any difference.
The last time I did this to move a license about three years ago it was so painless, I barely remember the steps. Rockwell has a video that explains in great detail how to get rid of your license.
...
But, it stops there. Where's the video to get the dang license back? I thought I found it, but no, it was a video, to show you how to find the video that shows you how to get rid of your license and send it off into cyberspace.
I am not upset, just sarcastic in general. I have three more days and spare licenses I can borrow...any and all help will be appreciated.
