About RSLinx Classic activation
When you start RSLinx Classic, the software checks for the Activation file. If the system fails to detect the activation file, an error is logged to FactoryTalk Diagnostics, and the system operates under a Grace period. Refer to the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Help for more information about diagnostic messages.
When you place the cursor over the tray icon in the notification area, a message that indicates the activation status displays. If the activation status changes during runtime, the message shows the new status after you restart RSLinx Classic.
Activate RSLinx Classic with FactoryTalk Activation Manager
You need to activate RSLinx Classic using FactoryTalk® Activation Manager™, which is automatically installed during the RSLinx Classic installation.
TIP:
EvRSI activation is replaced by FactoryTalk Activation Manager since RSLinx Classic v2.58.00 (CPR 9 SR 4).
