Activate FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Software
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software is one software product. The Manager and Options
are enabled by installing activations. For example, one activation enables Manager,
another enables the Real Time (RT) option, and one enables the ChartsPlus option.
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software may be optionally purchased bundled with Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition Runtime Database licenses. SQL Server bundles
are offered with a processor license (unlimited clients) or a single-client server license (1
client).
Any number of users may access the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server through its web
interface.
The basic Manager software includes a license for 10 meters. You can increase the meter
limit on your server at any time by purchasing and installing additional meter licenses in
10, 50, 100, and 500-meter increments.
You can also add options such as RT, FTEMOPC, ChartsPlus, and ReportsPlus in the
same manner. Check with your local Rockwell Automation representative for option
pricing and availability.
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software uses FactoryTalk Activation. If you are a new user,
you will need to activate your software by using FactoryTalk Activation because
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software no longer ships with physical ‘master disks’ for
activating the base software and options.
If you are upgrading from RSEnergyMetrix software activated with EvRSI activation,
please contact your local Rockwell Automation Sales office or Technical Support for
information to migrate your activations to FactoryTalk activations.
For Rockwell Automation Technical Support in the U.S., call 1 (440) 646-3434. Outside
the U.S., see

When you log in to the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix web page, the software checks for the
activation file. If the system fails to detect the activation file, an error is displayed and
logged to FactoryTalk Diagnostics. For more information, refer to the online help included
with the FactoryTalk Manager software.
It is the customer's responsibility to observe the requirements of all software
licenses.
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software requires at minimum the activation for Manager
for operation. Without a Manager activation, the software will not permit users to
log in.
