on the computer running the Transaction Control Manager service or
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager service until a valid activation is
found.
 FactoryTalk Transaction Manager can be started an unlimited number
of times. If the grace period ends and a valid activation has not been
found, you will no longer be able to start the software.
If FactoryTalk Transaction Manager is unable to successfully obtain valid activations
(for example, a network failure occurs), the software will attempt run in grace period
for up to seven days.
Activation Options
Activating FactoryTalk Transaction Manager software is determined by two
factors: whether the control and enterprise connectors can be distributed
among several computers and the maximum number of tags (data points)
that the Transaction Control Manager service or FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager service will support.
Please keep the following in mind about FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
activation:
 FactoryTalk Transaction Manager previously was sold without a restriction on
the number of tags. Although this option is no longer available, customers who
own this version can continue without a tag restriction.
 Each Microsoft COM+ connector must be installed on the same computer as
the Transaction Control Manager service or FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
service and requires a separate activation.
 Any FactoryTalk Transaction Manager activation must be installed on the same
computer (when using EvRSI activation) or on either a centralized or local
activation server (when using FactoryTalk Activation) that will be running the
Transaction Control Manager service or the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
service.
