All previous versions of RSLogix 5000 from v10-v17 support both the older EVRSI and newer FactoryTalk Activation options. Since RSLogix 5000 v20, and all versions of Studio 5000 since (v21 and above), only FactoryTalk Activation may be used to activate these versions of the product. If the product truly was/is Studio 5000 from the time of original purchase, then it could never have been an EVRSI activation (older master disk).

Personally, I really miss the days when Rockwell supported easy redirect links like that one 🙁 In my search I found the 元5E is in the “end of life” stage and will be discontinued in December, 2020:Īt the bottom Rockwell also includes definitions of each stage of their products lifecycle: PS: On a side note, the short URL of ab.com/silver no longer takes you to this page. Then in the results you'll see the status of the products with the same catalog number. Now enter in the Catalog Number you'd like to check on (in this example I entered 1769-元5E) and press enter: To access it, head over to (which redirects you to ab.)

Thankfully, Rockwell Automation has a “PRODUCT LIFECYCLE” page which allows you to lookup product catalog numbers to see the current status of their products. So it's no surprise today that Rockwell Automation customers may be unsure of which products used in their plants are still available, and which have been discontinued. The Allen-Bradley brand has been around for over a hundred years, and in the last fifty years they've released thousands of different electronic products, including PLCs, VFDs, and HMIs.
