I am trying to figure out a way to move or transfer my activation disk for RSLOGIX to either a CD, flashcard, or other durable media. Currently I share a single license with another for both Logix 5 and 500, and the constant trading of floppy and or moving to floppy is a pain. On road trips I will activate whatever version is needed to my HDD and post a note on the floppy that it is installed on my system. Upon return I will close out the job and move back to floppy. Needless to say floppies are not real durable. Any Ideas, UDF for a CD, or flash, smart media of some sort.

Is it the Key Disk that went bad or the activation on your hard drive?
If it is the activation on the hard drive then you can just reset the Key Disk over the internet at www.rockwellsoftware.com or even just use the disk itself to activate the computer.
To use the Key Disk itself to activate the computer you can just go find the file rocksoft.ini and add (or change) the line keydisk=true. That way when you start the RSLogix software it will first look to the hard drive for the activation and then if it doesn't find one, it will look to the floppy drive for the master (Key) disk. If it finds the master disk then it lets the software load.
If it is the Key Disk itself I don't know that you can repair the disk without altering the special format of the disk. Can you just call Rockwell Tech Support and have them send you a new disk?

If you can access the activation help file, it also details another (very similar) method of activating the computer by using a command called 'checkdrives' - One of our pc's gives an error message if we try to move activation onto it's hard drive, but the software (rslogix5) runs ok with the master disk in the 'a' drive!

If you have your key disk, it is easy to 'RESET' the key disk from the internet. However, you can only do this once a year.
If you don't have your key disk, you can call Rockwell and they will send you a replacement disk free of charge, provided you are currently under a support contract.
If you aren't under a support contract, they will gladly reinstate your support agreement for a complete year for a fee.
