Creating a new License file for a new computer is called 're-hosting' and you can do it online or by calling Rockwell Automation Technical Support. Usually you use the MAC ID of your main Ethernet card, or the Volume ID of your C: drive, or a special USB dongle from RA. Raoul's suggestion is right: you need to generate a new *.LIC file that uses a hardware ID on the new computer. The OP probably has a FactoryTalk activation, which is tied to a particular hardware identifier on the computer. The activation file was not tied to a particular value you enter during installation or to a particular computer. The 'installation diskette' hackcoder refers to was the old EVRSI activation system. Standard starts with 1203 Pro starts with 2022 Mini starts with 1635 Full starts with 2445 Edit: I forgot to list the paths for the XP registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000.1 Last Version UserInfo Serialnum HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000.1 Support ProductID HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000.1 UserInfo Serialnum Logix only cares about the first 4 numbers of the serial number. The fix for this is to modify the registry! On 64-Bit systems, these are the keys that need to be modified: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE WOW6432Node Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000.1 Last Version UserInfo Serialnum HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE WOW6432Node Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000.1 Support ProductID HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE WOW6432Node Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000.1 UserInfo Serialnum Change the serial numbers listed in all 3 of these keys to the correct serial number and then your activation will work. And plain text only in the user flair, no links.
