Activation Server
For continuous use of FactoryTalk products and other Rockwell Software
products, computers running the software must have access to activation files.
FactoryTalk Activation software provides a secure, software-based system for
activating Rockwell Software products and managing software activation files.
With FactoryTalk Activation software, there is no need for a physical master
disk or any physical media. Instead, activation files are generated and
distributed electronically.
Concurrent activations are locked to a central activation-server computer on
the network. The activation server manages a pool of activation keys for
connected clients to share. Floating concurrent activations are assigned
automatically to clients that need them, and returned automatically to the
activation server pool when the software stops running on the client, or when
the client computer shuts down.
