Exclude activations for lower-precedent products
Certain products, such as FactoryTalk® Linx™ and FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, check out activations in order of precedence. To reserve an activation for products that are lower in precedence, configure the Options file to exclude the activations with higher precedence.
For example, the following activations appear in order of precedence for a specific computer:
- ActivationA.3000
- ActivationB.2000
- ActivationC.1000
To only use ActivationC.1000 on the computer OperatorComputer1, exclude ActivationA.3000 and ActivationB.2000, and reserve ActivationC.1000. The following shows the Options file edited to reserve one ActivationC.1000 activation for the computer OperatorComputer1.
EXCLUDE ActivationA.3000 HOST OperatorComputer1
EXCLUDE ActivationB.2000 HOST OperatorComputer1
RESERVE 1 ActivationC.1000 HOST OperatorComputer1
If ActivationA.3000 and ActivationsB.2000 are not excluded, they would check out first because they have a higher precedence than ActivationC.1000, even though ActivationC.1000 has been reserved.
