Supported dongle types
FactoryTalk Activation supports Rockwell Automation's Universal Serial Bus (USB) dongles. Binding an activation to the dongle's serial number allows the dongle to activate software on any computer that the dongle is attached to.
Using a plug-and-play dongle with storage capacity allows FactoryTalk Activation Manager to automatically detect the dongle and provide the option of downloading activation files to it. The dongle can then be connected to any computer and used to activate software.
Each dongle is labeled:
- CodeMeter dongles are labeled CmStick or CmCard.
- FlexNet dongles are labeled FlexNet, Flexera, HASP, or FLEXid.
