FactoryTalk Activation Manager is a program for Windows which offers a secure platform for activating Rockwell Automation software and handling license files. It is primarily targeted at engineers and other professionals in the field of industrial automation.

Main purpose

The application simplifies the licensing process for Rockwell Automation products. Basically, it provides a centralized graphical interface to manage activation files. This reduces the complexity often associated with the corresponding procedures.

There is support for various licensing options, including concurrent, server based, and local activations. Thus, you can adapt to different project requirements. This flexibility makes the program suitable for both small scale setups and large enterprises.

Borrow activations

One of the standout aspects of this tool is the ability to borrow activations. In this case the software deactivates when the license expires. To renew the activation, you need to send a request to the server instance.

Please note that while the utility offers capabilities for offline use, the initial setup process requires an Internet connection. In some industrial settings, this can be a limitation. If you would like to create automation bots, you may try a program called Automation Anywhere.
