Use Activation Server Status to:

• Verify the current status of activation servers.
• Determine if an activation server is unresponsive, needs software updates, or needs activations renewed.

To check the status of activation servers:

1. At the right of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, click the up arrow to show hidden icons.
2. Click the Rockwell Activation icon .
3. Click Check Servers Now. The Activation Server Status box lists the name of the activation servers and the status of each server. A server can be in the following states:
   • Unresponsive. Indicates that the computer is not communicating with the activation server due to a problem with the server or the connection to the server.
   • Needs update. Indicates the server is not running the latest version of FactoryTalk Activation. Contact your system administrator to install the current version of FactoryTalk Activation.
4. Click Close.
