Andrew, I am comfortable with Structured text. The point of converting it is for the off-shift maintenance techs in case they needed to observe the logic it would be friendlier. I am in the process of updating a system. The upgrade includes replacing motors on contactors with VFD's to better ...

Hello Philip, They get this message when they try to open Studio. I fixed it on mine once before. I had to go into Factory Talk Admin Console and add my username and password as an Admin. We use a VM and I require all my users to rename their VM so I can see who it is on the license server.
