The fix for this is to modify the registry!On 64-Bit systems, these are the keys that need to be modified:HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeRockwell SoftwareRSLogix 5000.1Last VersionUserInfoSerialnumHKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeRockwell SoftwareRSLogix 5000.1SupportProductIDHKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeRockwell SoftwareRSLogix 5000.1UserInfoSerialnumChange the serial numbers listed in all 3 of these keys to the correct serial number and then your activation will work. Logix only cares about the first 4 numbers of the serial number.Standard starts with 1203Pro starts with 2022Mini starts with 1635Full starts with 2445Edit: I forgot to list the paths for the XP registry keys:HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWARERockwell SoftwareRSLogix 5000.1Last VersionUserInfoSerialnumHKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWARERockwell SoftwareRSLogix 5000.1SupportProductIDHKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWARERockwell SoftwareRSLogix 5000.1UserInfoSerialnum. The 'installation diskette' hackcoder refers to was the old EVRSI activation system. The activation file was not tied to a particular value you enter during installation or to a particular computer.The OP probably has a FactoryTalk activation, which is tied to a particular hardware identifier on the computer.Raoul's suggestion is right: you need to generate a new.LIC file that uses a hardware ID on the new computer. Usually you use the MAC ID of your main Ethernet card, or the Volume ID of your C: drive, or a special USB dongle from RA.Creating a new License file for a new computer is called 're-hosting' and you can do it online or by calling Rockwell Automation Technical Support. Can you clarify: Did you just copy a.lic file from the activations folder on your old laptop to your new one, and copied the wrong one? Or did you enter the wrong 10 digit serial number during the installation process?
2) Buy the Logix5000 Pro upgrade to get the ST editor 3) Have the company that wrote the code redo the ST files in ladder and add them into the existing program OR rewrite the ST files into ladder yourself and integrate them. I don't mean to be a smart-a. here but try to treat this as a learning experience. Publication 1756-RM003L-EN-P - October 2009 3 Summary of Changes Introduction The release of this document contains new information. New Information New information is marked by change bars in the side column, as shown to the right. Section Changes Where to Find an Instruction.
The serial number you enter during installation is arbitrary. So long as it begins with 2022xxxxxx, it doesn't matter. It's best practice to enter the actual serial number for future software maintenance, but not necessary.
If you did the former, you'll have to rehost the activation (.lic file) to either the hard disk number (ABCD-1234) or your NIC. As a Rockwell FSE, I try not to encourage this workaround, but you can get a hard disk serial number changer pretty easy.
I wouldn't recommend it for servers as I have seen issues where maintenance tried this, specifically between redundant HMI servers with the same host ID. For an engineering workstation, however, it shouldn't be an issue. We get 3 GoldMaster activations, so I use one for my host (laptop) and all my different images have the same Host ID/activation. Rehosting the license should never be an issue though.
