Configuring source protection in the Logix
Designer application
This chapter describes how to enable and apply source protection for your Logix
Designer components such as routines and Add-On Instructions.
Follow these steps to enable Logix Designer source protection.
1. On the Logix Designer installation CD, browse to the
D:\ENU\Tools\Source Protection Tool folder and double-click the
RS5KSrcPtc.exe file.
A dialog box appears.
2. Click Yes.
This procedure applies source protection to a project file. When a source key is
applied to a component, that component is source-protected. Source keys are
user-generated, case-sensitive passwords that lock Logix Designer components
from being viewed or modified by third parties.
Important: Source protection can be applied only on a project file that is offline.
