Installing FactoryTalk Activation
See “Installing the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server software” on page 23 for the steps to get to
this part of the installation.
FactoryTalk AssetCentre uses a software activation system called FactoryTalk Activation
and is activated on two criteria: capacity (number of devices) and capability (purchased
functions). Activation is required for the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server, but not clients
or agents.
 Capacity is the number of device assets that can be represented in your FactoryTalk
AssetCentre software.
By default (and without activation), you are permitted to add up to ten devices or
process devices in your FactoryTalk AssetCentre software. Above that, the number of
devices and process devices you are permitted depends on the quantity of capacity
activation you have purchased. Only device and process device assets count for
capacity activation. You can add as many files, folders, file links, generic devices, and
generic containers as your system requires.
 Capabilities are additional features you can add to enhance your FactoryTalk
AssetCentre system.
Currently, the capabilities for purchase are:
 Calibration Management
 Process Device Configuration
 Disaster Recovery for Rockwell Devices
 Disaster Recovery for ABB Robots
 Disaster Recovery for Motoman Robots
If you receive an error message indicating that an attempt to configure the Windows Firewall
Configuration Utility failed, click OK and continue. The Windows Firewall will be configured
later.
