Since this license is node locked, I got the 6- digit binding ID (serial hard drive#) from Windows “cmd” command, and entered that with serial number, key, and software version. So, I used the RA website online activation method, which is more involved. Activation method right after install also fails every time. Just downloaded latest version and tried that, same problem.įigured it out, after only 12 hours of screwing around….įactoryTalk Activation Manager application doesn’t work at all for initial activation, crashes. Unfortunately, I have a field service call set up on Monday morning as it was fine all week so I'm hosed unless I can sort it out this weekend.Īnyone run into this before and figure out how to fix it? I have searched other threads here on activation, and this one seems a bit different. So, I have a ticket in for just activation tech support from RA, and sent an email to local distributor. Went online to Rockwell activation site and to try the same thing, but it asks for “data file” after serial number and key, and I have no idea what that might be.

I tried to go through activation again in FactoryTalk Activation Manager, and the application just closes (crashes really) just after I hit "validate." No feedback on whether license is invalid or anything else. > System.DivideByZeroException: Attempted to divide by zero. Check InnerException for exception details.

: An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid. However, I did pick this off the top of an RA log text file just after one failed activation attempt right after re-installation (note divide by zero) – The feedback from the installation process is horrible, and there is never any real indication as to what is going wrong. Made sure firewalls and virus scanner was down.

Uninstalled and re-installed 4 times and just gave up. On closer inspection now, I’m guessing the activation I did after install never took (and no error was displayed,) so it was just running the 7 day grace period. During the week, it was fine during as I have been using the OPC server. I bought a license on 1/4/19 for RSLInx Classic – Single Node, installed it on Windows 10 laptop, and it ran fine for exactly one week and then it automatically dropped back to the “Lite” version. Just ran into a problem recently, and I’m guessing it might be somewhat common.
