Protecting activation files
Activation files are simple text files that must have a .lic extension. The
activation key for RSView32 is called RSVMSGR.PRO.
As long as the .lic extension is retained, you can copy or rename an
activation file without harming it. However, tampering with text inside
the activation file can disable your Rockwell Software products.
If an activation file is damaged or deleted, contact Rockwell
Automation Technical Support.
For safekeeping, keep an original set of your activation files on backup
media. Use descriptive names for the files, so that you can identify them
later, and copy them back to the appropriate computers.
Activation files are locked to the Host IDs of the computers (or
dongles) that need them. Activation will fail for Rockwell Software
products on a computer where the specified Host ID is not recognized
by the activation file.
