How FactoryTalk Activation works
FactoryTalk Activation works by binding the license for a Rockwell Automation software product to a specific device, such as a dongle, Ethernet address for a computer, or hard disk drive so that it can be run in a production environment. Once a license is bound the product is activated. Without activation, some Rockwell Automation software products will not run, some will run with diminished functionality, and others will run for a limited period of time and then shut down with or without warning.
The activation is protected by a system-generated signature that is based on machine-specific information that you provide when installing the software. If the signature is tampered with, damaged, or deleted, the software will not function.

Important: |
If an activation becomes corrupted, you must rehost the activation to rebind the license with the device. |
