Activation renewals

Renew activations when:
  • The expiration date of an activation is extended to a later date.
  • A later version of the feature is available for activation.
Use the
Advanced
 tab in
FactoryTalk Activation Manager
 to configure automatic renewals. By default, automatic renewal is enabled.
Configure activations to renew automatically:
  • Automatic renewal - If automatic renewal is enabled, a computer with a time-limited activation and an Internet connection will periodically check for available updates. Renewals are downloaded to the computer and a notice displays information about the renewed activations. Once you access the
    Find Available Activations
     page within
    FactoryTalk Activation Manager
    , a notification dialog box displays automatic renewal information. Click
    OK
    to acknowledge the renewal.
    FactoryTalk Activation Manager
     checks for renewed activations every 24 hours by default.
    View all automatic renewals in
    FactoryTalk Diagnostics
    .
Once an activation has been renewed, check on the
Find Available Activations page.
 Look in the
Available Activations
 table to see updated expiration dates.
