Operational Notes
Movicon.NExT License File Recovery in Windows 10
An Industrial PC pre-installed with Windows 10 and a Movicon.NExT software package ships with the license files already activated and ready to use. In the case of a major software crash, the IPC will require a re-image of the
Windows’s license files, which will have to be manually re-installed. Emerson Customer Care should assist with this reinstallation. Please refer to GFK-3187, RXi2-BP User Manual for detailed instructions on obtaining and reinstalling the license files.
Movicon.NexT Demo Mode
Movicon.NExT software can be used to design data flows, alarms, and HMI screens (Editor mode) as well as execute already designed projects (Runtime mode). Industrial PCs with pre-installed Movicon.NExT software are licensed for runtime operation only and not for editor / development mode. When launching a project on this Industrial PC, the user is expected to launch the runtime only (i.e., launch project directly instead of opening it from the Movicon editor tool). If the user opens the editor tool, they will see a pop-up stating that it is running in Demo Mode. This message is referencing the editor functionality only and is expected. If you need an editor license, please contact your Emerson sales representative to make your purchase.
