mobile activation

An activation that is locked to a dongle rather than to a computer hardware device allowing the software to be activated on any computer to which the dongle is attached.

node-locked activation

An activation that is locked to a specific piece of computer hardware and is used only on the computer to which it is locked. Examples of computer hardware used for node-locked activation include an ethernet card, a hard disk, or a dongle. Node-locked activation is not supported by all products. See your product documentation for information on what types of activation it supports.

rehost (an activation)

Rehosting an activation provides a way of moving an activation file from one computer or device to another. Rehosting an activation file deactivates the file on the computer that is hosting it, and then creates a rehost code that Rockwell Technical Support staff can use to generate a new activation file for use on another computer.

A code generated by the FactoryTalk Activation Manager when you rehost an activation.

signature

The unique key to each activation file that protects the contents of the file. The signature is generated by Rockwell Automation, and is based on machine-specific information that you provide when you install the software.
