Just filled out a requistion to turn and upgrade my allen bradley tech support license.
Have a question.
From what I understand from what i was reading, you now upgrade your software on line and activate it online.
What would you do if you for some reason purchased a new pc or your pc crashed and you wanted to be able to load the software from a cd and activate it.
The reason I ask is that we now travel to a lot of small contracting plants in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and access to the internet is either not possible or slower than a dial up modem.
I myself have had a problem with my pc in one of those plants and had to load the software on another pc in the plant in order to finish what I needed to get done.
As a backup, I normally work on Allen Bradley or Omron PLC equipment, so I always carry a copy of each of them on a CD or data DVD in my computer case just in case. With the Omron you just put in the serial number, with the allen bradley I move the activation to a usb stick with a utility I either downloaded from this site or mrplc.com,
So, after you downloaded the latest Allen Bradley RSlogix 500 and activated it, how could you then transfer that to a CD and move the activation key to a usb stick?
