Maybe it’s because of my line of work, but in my personal experience, the VAST majority of people who are asking for free copies of the Allen-Bradley software have no intentions of “ripping off” the company - or using it for nefarious programming purposes. ![]() I don't understand why these people Jones for this software like they do. But almost all the people I've met over the years that are using these tools have a legitimate need to do so, and have no desire to break their software agreements with Rockwell. Like any other tool, it can be abused if you choose to do so. So we used this app to copy the Master Disk, and then that disk is locked away and never used. Although Rockwell allows you to reset an activation, they do not like to do this multiple times for that same one, even if it is over a few years. Our other problem is that our field laptops were notorious for getting trashed. After many calls to tech support, we discovered that the USB powered floppy drives would not read the Master Disks because the way that Rockwell "hides" the activation key. I create my tool because Dell stopped including Floppy disks in their laptops a few years ago, and we had an incredibly hard time getting Rockwell applications installed.Īt that time, well over half of the external floppy drives available for these laptops absolutely WOULD NOT READ a Master Disk. I totally agree with you on that, monkeyhead. ![]()
