Movicon.NExT Demo Mode
Movicon.NExT software can be used to design data flows,
alarms, and HMI screens (Editor mode) as well as execute
already designed projects (Runtime mode). Industrial PCs with
pre-installed Movicon.NExT software are licensed for runtime
operation only and not for editor/development mode. When
launching a project on this IPC, the user is expected to launch
the runtime only (i.e., launch project directly instead of opening
it from the Movicon editor tool). If the user opens the editor tool,
they will see a pop-up stating that it is running in Demo Mode.
This message is referencing the editor functionality only and is
expected. If you need an editor license, please contact your
Emerson sales representative to make your purchase.
Checking Activated Licenses
The RXi2-BP with pre-installed Movicon.NExT software also has a
pre-installed and ready-to-go software license. To check which
features are licensed open the editor tool by going to:
Start->Movicon.NExT->Movicon.NExT 4.2->Options->License->
Check License.
Note: This path opens the editor tool which is not licensed on this
product. Expect to see “demo mode” pop up as detailed in the
Movicon.NExT Demo Mode section above.

10 RXi2 - BP Industrial PC Quick Start Guide GFK-3196E
Movicon.NExT License File Recovery in
Windows 10
An IPC pre-installed with Windows 10 and a Movicon.NExT
software package ships with the license files already activated
and ready to use. In the case of a major software crash, the IPC
will require a re-image of the Windows’s license files, which will
have to be manually re-installed. Emerson Customer Care should
assist with this re-installation. Refer to GFK-3187, RXi2-BP User
Manual for detailed instructions on obtaining and reinstalling the
license files.
PACEdge Startup
This section applies to the units pre-installed with the PACEdge
software. For more details, refer to GFK-3178,PACEdge User

Initial Login
When the user connects to PACEdge for the first time (using the
instructions outlined in PACEdge in a Direct-Use Configuration or
PACEdge in Headless Configuration), a warning message will
display due to the self-signed certificate on the unit. The
message will state that the identity of the device could not be
confirmed. Click on Advanced and Accept to proceed.
Please read and accept the Emerson End User License
Agreement (EULA).
Once EULA has been accepted you will be redirected to the
Password Management screen. PACEdge software consists of
multiple software tools and applications, each having its user
management and password settings. To simplify this task,
PACEdge comes with pre-configured users: admin, developer,
service and operators, each having its own password. Use the
Password Management screen to change passwords in two
steps: 1) for all PACEdge Applications, 2) for Cockpit/Linux.
(Figure 6). When changing the passwords, follow instructions on
the screen and consult help information accessible via question
mark button in the upper right corner.
Note: For both, cybersecurity reasons, and for proper user account
setup, the user must change the default passwords on the first login.

15 RXi2 - BP Industrial PC Quick Start Guide GFK-3196E
Important: Consult the PACEdge Secure Deployment Guide (GFK-
3197) for recommended password changes and other cybersecurity-
relevant settings.
