1ChapterInstalling and activatingRSView32About RSView32RSView32 is a Windows -based software program for creating and runningdata acquisition, monitoring, and control applications.Designed for use in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows XP,Windows 2000 and Windows Vista environments, RSView32 contains thetools you need for creating all aspects of a human-machine interface, includingreal-time animated graphic displays, trends, and alarm summaries. RSView32integrates easily with Rockwell Software, Microsoft, and other third-partyproducts to maximize the power of ActiveX , VBA, OLE, ODBC and OPC technologies.Determining system requirementsThe hardware and software you use with RSView32 depends on the demandsyour project places on the system. The greater the demand, the more powerfula system you need.The recommendations below are based on field experience. It is possible thatyour application will operate on a platform below these recommendations.In the following tables, the demands your project places on the system arerepresented by points. Total your points in step 1, and then use the table instep 2 to determine the hardware and software you need.n1

Ifactivation is present from an earlier version of RSView or RSView32,click Next.If you removed the activation or if you are installing RSView32 for the firsttime, insert the Activation disk in the diskette drive and click Activate. Fordetails about activation, see “Activating RSView32” on page 5.6.4nWhen installation is complete, restart Windows. If you do not restartWindows now, be sure to restart it before running RSView32 for the firsttime.Getting Results with RSView32
Installation summaryThe default installation does the following: installs RSView32 in \Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSViewadds a Rockwell Software\RSView32 folder to your list of programs. Thisfolder contains the shortcuts for RSView32.installs the ODBC drivers for Watcom SQL 4.0 in the system directory ofyour operating system. Only Watcom SQL 4.0 is supported with RSView32.Other versions may not function correctly. Check the ODBC Data SourceAdministrator in the Windows Control Panel for version numbers.Activating RSView32Rockwell Software uses activation files to activate its Windows-based softwarepackages. You can activate RSView32 by using FactoryTalk Activationsoftware to download and transfer activation files.FactoryTalk ActivationFactoryTalk Activation provides a secure, software-based system for activatingRockwell Software products and managing software activation files. WithFactoryTalk Activation, there is no need for a physical “master disk” or anyphysical media; instead, activation files are generated and distributedelectronically.Important: EvRSI activation is replaced by FactoryTalk Activation in this release. If you areusing EvRSI activation, please contact your local Rockwell Automation Sales office or TechnicalSupport for information on migrating your activations to FactoryTalk Activation.
