I have a problem with product activations that keep changing from successful to unsuccessful. I am running RSview Studio SE v.5.0 and Controllogix 5000 v.17.
After is got the activation to work the first time, sometimes when I start either of the two programs or open Controllogix from a saved application icon, the warning comes up that says you have not successfully installed your activation for the products you are running and I have a 7 day grace period. When this happens the other program (RSview or Logix) also has an activation failure and the grace period warning. If I go to FactoryTalk activation program is doesn’t see both activations on the activation tab when the is a problem only the Logix license is there. On the rehost tab boot are shown.
If I shut the programs down and reboot eventually the activations come back. I have tried several different things including moving the directories up and down where the .lic files are on the settings tab of the FactoryTalk activation file. There are 2 directories that have the .lic files. These are under documents and settings\ all user\Rockwell\activations and documents and settings\ all user\activations. Does this sound correct that they are in there twice?
The thing that seems to be the most effective in getting the activation to work is whether or not my Ethernet connection is disabled. When it is disabled is when it seems to fail.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks
