This saves manually moving licence files around to the necessary computers.Ĭorrect me if I'm wrong (and I probably am, I've never caught George being wrong yet), but don't you need the dongle with the activation on it connected to be able to rehost the activation? I thought that was the whole point, before you're allowed to attach the activation to some other hardware address, you have to detach it from whichever address it's on now. The storage space allows you to store licence files on the Key for convenience so they are to hand when you plug the Key into any computer with the same serial number software installed, allowing auto Activation. While the 9509-USB-DONG2 does provide you with 2GB of storage space, this is just auxiliary to the Flex ID feature and does not make it a regular flash drive. Regular USB flash drives, thumb drives, or memory sticks, whatever you like to call them, do not provide this Flex ID. Once your software has been Activated against that Flex ID, only its presence will successfully Activate the product.
They provide a Hardware Host ID, known as a Flex ID, which is similar to a MAC address and is unique to that one piece of hardware. They specifically use a software/hardware combination designed for the Digital Rights Management (DRM) market and were originally developed by Aladdin Knowledge Systems, now SafeNet Inc. The 9509-USB-DONG2 FactoryTalk Activation Dongle is a Sentinel HASP (Hardware Against Software Piracy) Key. Just a regular USB thumb drive would work, correct ? If you are unsure of all that, then yes, you can contact Rockwell to assist you, or ask here. You should be able to perform the above Rehosting yourself using FactoryTalk Activation Manager and a computer with Internet access. If you then need, for any reason, to Rehost the Activation for a fourth time within the same 12 month period, then you would have to contact Rockwell. If you order a new USB Dongle and then Rehost back to it, then that will be strike 3 for this 12 month period. If you now Rehost to a fixed Host ID, temporarily, then that will be strike 2. If you had Activated the current product within the last 12 months, then that was strike 1. If you don't have a replacement yet then.įor option 2 you can Rehost a serial number up to 3 times in any 12 month period. If you do not have another USB Dongle yet, do you want to Rehost the Activation temporarily to a fixed Hardware Host ID, like the Hard Disk Drive or LAN Adapter on your computer?įor option 1 above I keep a spare unused USB Dongle in the drawer here beside me. Do you want to Rehost the Activation to a new USB Dongle Host ID?Ģ. The best way? It depends really on how you want to proceed.ġ.
