RSnetWorx Activation w/o a floppy drive

[flux]

Hi,

How do I activate RSNetWorx(ControlNet, DeviceNet, EthernetIP) without a floppy drive. My activations are on a floppy drive and my laptop don't have a floppy.

Is possible to copy or image the diskette(if I manage to secure a floppy drive) and create a virtual floppy drive?

If I can't find a floppy drive, what are my options?

Thanks for your time.......

Migrate to FactoryTalk Activation or use the EVMove utility off a USB thumb drive.

Another option is to purchase an external floppy drive that plugs into a USB port on your laptop.

Another method you can use if you are on a network is to find a computer with a floppy and share it. Then from the target computer map the shared floppy to a drive letter - you need a letter for EVMOVE. Then as far as EVMOVE will be concerned its a local drive.
