Restoring the hardware settings
The controller hardware settings include information such as controller type and
serial number. When the main computer has been replaced, the serial number
must be restored before any software can be installed, or any licences can be
imported.
Note
When replacing the main computer, both the serial number and licences are lost.
The serial number must be restored as described below. Licences however, can
either be restored automatically when the RobotWare system is installed, or
manually through Manage Licences in RobotWare Installation Utilities.
