The Role of the "Master Disk"
This version was specifically optimized for Windows XP and Windows Vista. While it can run on Windows 7 or 10 using "Compatibility Mode," it was designed for the transition to more modern (at the time) security protocols.
Once moved, the software was fully functional. To "return" the license or move it to another PC, you had to move the bit back to the Master Disk. Key Features of Version 8.10.00
Includes a comprehensive library of timers, counters, and advanced math instructions that made the SLC 500 platform a powerhouse for decades.
Full support for the MicroLogix 1100, 1200, 1400, and 1500 series.
