Lost A Key: Allen Bradley Keys Switches - A Series KEY CODE # B Series KEY CODE # C Series KEY CODE # K Series KEY CODE # D Series KEY CODE # E Series KEY CODE # 0.

Some how I lost my activation file in my laptop. I have no idea how to find this.

I recently upgraded my OS from windows 98se to XP. (I moved the activation before I upgraded OS).

Then I moved my activation like I alway did. Next thing I know, it's GONE. Only thing I did different was I loaded RSlogix 5.50.00 and RSlinx 2. Rayfire 3ds Max more. 20.00 from RSlogix 2.00.00 and used my old activation disk from 2.00.00 May be it's too old for 5.50.00 I already got the reset for activation from AB last month. I don't want to wait a year. I just started my PLC class 3 months ago. I need my activation back. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I've already try what you said. My computer is saying 'activation file not found' Allen bradley won't help me since the software is not in my name. I already got a reset from them last month. I got this activation disk from my old company when they went out of production. Is there anyway I can find the activation in my computer?? Maybe windows XP won't read RSlogix 2.00.00 activation to RSlogix software 5.50.00?? This sucks, I love to learn this software.

I don't want to spend $1,100 for a new software. I've already try what you said. My computer is saying 'activation file not found' Allen bradley won't help me since the software is not in my name.

A few years ago i had exactly the same sort of problem when i upgraded from 98 to M.E, i moved the activation before I upgraded OS and checked that the move was sucessful which it was. Installed logix 5.2 on the drive and reinstalled the activation file, went to open it no activation found Scratched my head for a while still no good. Contacted AB they reset it ect but still the the same old story PC said activation was installed but when run no file was found. AB didnt come up with anything else.

Checked out floppy and found the file was still on the disk as there wasn't much on the pc i reformated the drive reloaded everything including logix and hey presto everthing was hunky dory. Maybe it was a AB problem or a windows problem but it has been trouble free ever since. Probaly not much help but you never know? Ampman is right; the activation system uses files EVRSI.SYS and 386SWAP.PAR Usually Windows tries to hide them; you have to tell Windows Explorer to Show Hidden System Files. They should be in your C: root directory. Thes files are special; you can't just move or copy them to a diskette or another disk volume.

That's what the EVMOVE program is for. However, the most common thing that happens to the EVRSI.SYS file is that it gets it's File Attributes messed up. It should be System, Hidden, and Read-Only, but not Archived. I hear RSI will be moving to a different activation system this fall that will use an ordinary text file as the key, to avoid all this futzing around with protected, unmovable, special files. Hi Dan, don't mess with the master floppy. There is nothing you can do if the license isn't on the floppy, and you can't see it with normal disk tools.
