Moving the RSLinx
Activation File About the Activation File
Use the following procedure to move the activation file (evrsi.sys) from
the RSLinx software Master Disk to the hard drive where RSLinx is to be
operated. The PC cannot execute the full OEM version of the RSLinx
application if the activation file is not present on its hard drive.

⇒
RSLinx
to open the RSLinx application.
IMPORTANT
Complete Step 1 and Step 2 in the following
procedure to determine your current RSLinx version.
ATTENTION
!
If you need to reformat the hard drive, you must first
move the activation file back to the RSLinx Master
Disk using the same general procedure as follows.
Otherwise, the file will be corrupted and you will not
be able to run RSLinx in the OEM mode.
Before you attempt to move the activation file, you
MUST exit all ProcessLogix applications and stop all
ProcessLogix services. Refer to Stopping
ProcessLogix Applications and Services on page 1-8.
Do not manually copy or move the evrsi.sys file.
Moving/coping the evrsi.sys file will disable the OEM
version of RSLinx.
Always use the EVMOVE.EXE program to move the
evrsi.sys file. If the evrsi.sys file is corrupted or
manually moved, resulting in RSLinx changing to Lite
version, you can visit the Rockwell web site
(http://suppport.automation.rockwell.com/resetcodes
/) to recover the RSLinx activation.
