Change Serial Number Rslogix 5000

Ken, I guess this is something in version 29 and above. We just went to Version 30 company wide from Version 24, and all of us service techs have the same issue. The Controls guys have their dongles plugged in all the time, so it didn't affect them until I asked a couple of them to unplug their dongle.

We have a Tool Kit. It does popup the annoying grace period box. Only difference was version 30.

I just installed RsLogix5000 Version 30 because I needed it for a project. Just on the 7 day grace period, I am locked out from making any changes. Click on the “Help” button got to the About page; the serial number.

One of the service guys contacted Rockwell, and they gave him the fix. It has to do with modifying some registries. I didn't look at it yet, but can post here when I do in case others have the same issue later.

Thanks for the response Ken. Here is what another service tech sent me. I HAVE NOT DONE THIS YET. I cannot say it works or doesn't work. I am waiting for a response from out IT department before I go messing in the registry. CYA deal there. Please make a backup before you begin, so if something happens, you can at least go back!

Hey all, Since upgrading Studio 5000 to version 30 I’ve had issues with my grace period not working and not being able to open RSlogix 5000. A few other people have been having the same problem so I figured I’d get the word out. Just a heads up; this involves going into your laptops registry edit.

Going off script and changing or accidently deleting something could make your laptop a brick. First type “regedit” into the search box of the start button, click on “Regedit” then click yes on the dialog box. For the RSlogix5000 fix go to: HKEY_Current_User Software Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000 Start Page Double click on the “Never Show” entry and change the value to a 1. For the grace period fix go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Wow6432Node Rockwell Software RSlogix 5000.1 UserInfo.

Double click on the “SerialNum” entry and type in your serial number. Repeat this step for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Wow6432Node Rockwell Software RSlogix 5000.1 Support -> ProductID HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Wow6432Node Rockwell Software RSlogix 5000.1 Latest Version UserInfo -> SerialNum Two of these are labeled “Userinfo” but are under different folder locations, make sure you get them both. After you are finished restart your laptop, then open RSlogix5000 and Studio5000. Click on the “Help” button got to the About page; the serial number should be displayed.

How to share a Rockwell Automation software license between two or more computers with a USB Software Dongle Working with our industrial automation customers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, at times we see customers struggling with managing their software licenses between users. Most Rockwell Automation software licenses are single seat, which means they can only be used by one person at a time. Occasionally, however, there are times when you might not have access to the computer with the activated license or need to share the license with a colleague. An easy way to do this is by using a Rockwell Automation USB Software Activation Dongle, part number 9509-USB-DONG2. By installing the activations on the USB Dongle, you can have your application software on multiple computers, and the one that has the dongle inserted will run it. Rockwell software uses a process called 'Activation' to authenticate licenses.

Activation generates a license file that is tied to a piece of hardware in the host PC, generally the hard disk drive, or a USB dongle. We can use the free license management utility, Factorytalk Activation Manager, to generate these activations, or to return activations back to Rockwell (called 'rehosting'), so that you can download them to a different computer or USB Dongle.

• Insert the USB Dongle • Your computer should show several messages about installing new hardware. • To make sure the dongle is available to bind activations to, go to the 'Advanced' tab and select 'Show Bindings'. • Make sure the FlexNet Dongle is listed, with a binding ID starting 'FLEXID=9-xxxxx'. • If not, follow the steps below - • Go to C: Program Files (x86) Rockwell Software Factorytalk Activation. • Make sure the USB dongle is inserted and double-click on 'Install Dongle Driver.bat'. • Wait for success notification, then check to make sure it is listed in FT Activation manager per the above instructions.
