Rslogix 5000 activation hack update#

You've misunderstood my intentions here but remember, I spent my time earlier to advise you and again here to update you and not to be smart. So I apologize for the 'look at me.' I did this for myself and my team and figured I'd share these findings with everyone. If I have an issue I check Google first which 99% of the time takes me here where others like me have taken the time to figure out a working solution. Not all of us have time to sort through AB's knowledge base. Good learning experience though as this is the hand Rockwell has handed us.

I will also be trying this very soon on a Windows 10 Ent physical box just to verify there's no difference between VM and physical.

It may take a week or so but if anyone is interested and no one is upset by this post, I'll try it on my Windows 10 Pro box and report back. However my company would use enterprise on a physical box so I believe this to be an apples to apples comparison.

I did a run as admin and it added the files just fine, did a few reboots to verify, and even moved them back without loosing anything. On a small side note I did do an evmovecf from my USB drive to the C drive on windows 10 and that DID work. That's not my choosing, that is what the company has provided me. Now to go further since I hate anything sticking out of my machine, adding a second hard drive to the VM and moving the keys there does the same thing!!! Windows 10 with a small secondary hard drive with the keys installed on it works! And this is great news since our IT department will force us to use Windows 10 in the near future and our current version of Logix 5 is 5.20. So just to repeat that with reboots to verify, Logix 500 will work just fine with the USB plugged in.

What is ground breaking news to me is that and I can't believe I've never tried this before, I found out that just by having the USB key plugged in Logix 500 WILL see the keys and run just fine! So for Windows 10 just having a USB key with the master disk on it will allow legacy software to run! Having moved my purchased keys from a floppy to hd then to USB, I have made them portable. So with Logix 500 or 5 at ver 7.x and below you can use the master disk. It's an Enterprise VM which is only good for 90 days but allows me to try software on Windows 10 with dying a million deaths on a physical box. So I have a Windows 10 VM that I got from MS. With that said, and this is the truth, all software and keys I have, have been purchased by my company through Rockwell. This is in no way hacking or doing anything wrong, but let's face it, in order to get legacy Rockwell software to work sometimes we have to think outside the box. So I just wanted to update everyone on my findings.ДЇirst off like others have mentioned if I'm saying something wrong please let me know. There is TID somewhere on Rockwell's site about moving to USB sticks and storing keys on file servers.

You can move a key to a file server so long as the Archive bit is not set on the file - no backup is run on the drive with the key or the file is set to be skipped, and the drive must not be mirrored. Of course you cannot share them but you have a ready backup that way. I think I have about 7 copies of the original key and when running the move program it recognizes all of them. I imaged my hard drive then moved the key on to the original and ended up with two keys, I did this several times until I had 5 or so extra keys and then moved them to other drives and USB sticks just for some insurance. It will copy it and not corrupt it but it may not work with the newest versions of Ghost and it does not work with any other image software I have tried.ДЄny way you will know when you boot up with the ghosted drive if it worked or you can put it in as a slave and check it and transfer a key from the slave to your original master. Make a ghost image of your drive with the key. I keep all data and plc programs on a server so I don't loose anything stored on a local pc. I keep a ghosted drive of the one I use with rslogix 5 that has keys on it so If my key gets corrupted all I have to do is put it in as the master. Get an old copy of GHOST and run it on XP or maybe Win 7 ( Have not tried that.) I used 5.1c and maybe 2003 I don't remember.

I don't know if you can get it anymore from RS so if you need it let me know I will send it to you as long as there is no copyright violation and I don't think there is.

You need EvMoveCF.exe to move to a USB drive. WIN 10 does corrupt the file if you do that but even with older versions to move a key to a USB stick you need to use a different program, Unless they have changed things.
