Hello everyone

I’m not so experianced with the Ur, so maybe my question is a little bit a beginner question…

I want to activate the URCap Remote TCP & Toolpath. Therefore I have registred the robot and have downloaded the licence-file. In the settings the activate button is grey. so my question is: Is it necessary to be logged in as administrator to activate?

Thank you in advance  
stefan

If URCaps are set to be protected by the Admin password, then yes. You will need to unlock it with the Admin password, before you can do anything. 🙂
