32 Chapter 2 Install, activate, and uninstall FactoryTalk View on a personal computer Post-installation procedures Install Product Updates Once FactoryTalk View Machine Edition has been installed, there may be final setup steps that must be completed: Install Product Updates on page 32 Activate the FactoryTalk View software on page 32 Recreate SQL Server 2008 Express instance on page 34 (only if needed) For the latest Product Updates and Patch information, refer to Knowledgebase Answer ID's and respectively. You can subscribe to be notified when new Product Updates or Patches are released via the Knowledgebase by clicking the Add to My Favorites link located at the bottom of the Knowledgebase answer. To directly download software or firmware updates, and patch roll-ups, go to Product Compatibility and Download Center Activate the FactoryTalk View software For continuous use of FactoryTalk View Machine Edition and other Rockwell Automation products, the computers running the software must have access to activation files. To manage and provide activations for FactoryTalk View software components on a computer, use the FactoryTalk Activation Manager software installed with FactoryTalk View. Activation is not required for PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus Compact, and PanelView Plus CE terminals. About FactoryTalk Activation FactoryTalk Activation provides a secure, software-based system for activating Rockwell Automation products and managing software activation files. With FactoryTalk Activation, there is no need for a physical master disk or any physical media; instead, activation files are generated and distributed electronically. FactoryTalk View products use two types of activations: Floating concurrent activations are checked out of an activation server located on the network, and require a continuous network connection. Borrowed concurrent activations are time-expiring activations checked out of an activation server on the network, and do not require a continuous network connection. 32 Rockwell Automation Publication - VIEWME-IN003N-EN-E - December 2016

33 Install, activate, and uninstall FactoryTalk View on a personal computer Chapter 2 Tip: To learn about the types of activation that other Rockwell Automation products can use, see the FactoryTalk Activation Manager product documentation or contact your local Rockwell Automation Sales office. What happens if FactoryTalk View is not activated If the FactoryTalk View components you have installed cannot be activated, for example, because the activation server is unavailable or because borrowed activations have expired, then the software will continue to run for up to seven days on personal computers. The seven-day grace period allows time to correct the problem with acquiring activations without disrupting critical applications. If activation is restored within seven days, normal operations will resume. If activation is not restored, the grace period will expire. After the grace period expires, if you restart FactoryTalk View ME and activation remains unavailable, the software will run in demo mode. Demo mode allows only two hours of use and no more than five displays, including three default displays. Borrow activations for development computers If it is not convenient for a development computer to remain connected to the network where the activation server resides, you can connect to the activation server temporarily, borrow a concurrent activation for a limited amount of time, and then disconnect. When the time-limited activation expires, its associated software is no longer activated, and the activation automatically becomes available again from the server's activation pool. Only the FactoryTalk View Studio activation keys can be borrowed. While developing applications while disconnected from the network, the FactoryTalk View Studio activation key is shared by any test clients and HMI servers in your application, allowing all necessary components to run for development purposes. Tip: To use borrowed activations, you must upgrade to FactoryTalk Activation Manager version 3.30 or later (included on any FactoryTalk installation DVD) on all server and client computers where the borrowed activations will be used. Activation keys for FactoryTalk View software components The activation files you download from the Rockwell Automation Activation Website contain the activation keys you purchased, in encrypted form. The activation key is the software that activates FactoryTalk View components. Different keys are required for different components. For example, FactoryTalk View ME Station use ME Station activation keys. Following is a list of activation keys used by the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition products.

The cause is that the security enhancements in FactoryTalk View affect the communications with third-party devices. To access the tag value, set the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) configuration for KEPServer Enterprise on the computers. If you are using a direct reference tag through the KEPServer Enterprise OPC server, you can access the tag value successfully. Set DCOM configuration for KEPServer Enterprise In the following steps, KEPServer Enterprise 5.19 is used as an example. The steps also apply to earlier versions of KEPServer Enterprise. To set DCOM configuration for KEPServer Enterprise 1. Open Component Services. Tip: You can open Component Services from Control Panel > Administrative Tools, or use the search box on the Windows Start menu or the taskbar. For more information about how to open Component Services, see Windows Help. 2. From the console tree, select Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config. 3. Under the DCOM Config node, right-click KEPServiceEnterprise 5.19 and select Properties. Rockwell Automation Publication - VIEWME-IN003N-EN-E - December
