Can't Change Option for 617-1 FlexPendant after Restore from backup program

RobotStudio

Hi guys,
i’m new to RobotStudio.
At first, i have a robot program with RAPID code. And this program is working fine in customer production floor now.
But right now, i would like to enhance the program by adding extra application which is created using ScreenMaker. For try and error, i will create one button to move the robot from one to another point.
I was using Robotstudio 6.08.01 (32 bits) and know where to select “617-1 FlexPendant Interface” which under “Change Option Tab”. But the problem is i could not tick the checkbox all inside the options. The message display is “An error occurred when selecting 617-1 FlexPendant interface. See Output for details”. But i dunno where to see the Output.

And I tried to create new fresh robot system and tick the “Customized option” before select “Create” button. After that, go to change option tab and select 617-1, and design simple screenmaker for testing. Result is the Application is displayed and well when Start Virtual Pendant.

Can anyone tell the reason why i cant select option when restore program from a backup program and how to solve this. Thanks ya.

Hi, if the Virtual Controller is created with the license keys from the physical robot, is the problem probably that these keys not include the option 617-1.
If you create a new Virtual Controller in RobotStudio, it will use a “virtual license key” with all options available, but it will not be possible to download to a physical robot. So to get it to work in your physical robot, you has to contact ABB and purchase the option “617-1 FlexPendant Interface”.
