Deny access to all computers to all activations of a specific firm code

Configure CodeMeter options to deny access to all computers to all activations of a specific firm code, such as 102389 or 6000458.

Keep these considerations in mind when configuring CodeMeter options:

  • Only activations that are currently on the server can be configured.
  • Changing the access rules might require a refresh of the CodeMeter server.
  • To configure a computer to be a CodeMeter server, select the Run Network Server box on the Advanced > Configure CodeMeter page.

To deny access to all computers to all activations of a specific firm code:

  1. Open FactoryTalk Activation Manager on the server computer and click the Advanced tab.
  2. Click Configure CodeMeter.
  3. Click Web Admin to open the CodeMeter WebAdmin utility.

    Tip:

    In the CodeMeter WebAdmin utility, click the help CodeMeterHelpIcon icon for more information on settings and parameters.

  4. In the Mode box, select Advanced.
  5. In the Advanced Mode Configuration box, under Specific access rules, click Add new Firm Code to open the Add Firm Code box.
  6. Select the firm code to configure and click Add. The firm code is added under Specific access rules.
  7. For the default action, select Deny. All computers are denied access to use the specific Rockwell Automation software activations of the firm code. However, computers are automatically allowed access to localhost (the server computer).
