The default path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Rockwell Automation\Activations. The *.LIC file path is defined in the Settings tab. It is looking for *.LIC files, which are simple text files with activation key codes inside them. This is the multi-tab utility with Get Activations / Current Activations / Rehost Activations / Settings tabs. The utility is launched from Start -> Programs -> Rockwell Software -> FactoryTalk Activation -> FactoryTalk Activation Tool. The newer method is called FactoryTalk Activation. It is always located in the root directory of the drive that contains it (A:\ or C:\ or D:\ or something else). That utility is looking for a system file called EVRSI.SYS that contains the activation key.

It used activation diskettes and a simple activation moving utility that you launch from Start -> Programs -> Rockwell Software -> Utilities -> Move Activation (32-bit). The older method is called "Everlock" or "EVRSI". There are two different mechanisms for activation of Rockwell Software products.
