Posted 10 Oct 2023 (edited) I have some older RSLogix 5000 software I would like to run on a newer Dell 64bit laptop. It's RSLogix 5000 V13.03.00. I can buy a full Windows license for an older Windows OS and not connect to the internet. What OS was my RSLogix 5000 software originally designed for? Was V13 a 32bit software?

Posted 10 Oct 2023 I would use a 32 bit Windows XP Virtual Machine. I've read stories of folks successfully getting ancient programs to work on newer PCs, but in my experience things work better if your OS reasonably close to the software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Oct 2023 I have that version running on a 32-bit Windows7 VM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 Oct 2023 Joe E. and pturmel, thanks for the messages. I dug through some of my old software and found both Windows XP and Windows 7. I'll read up on VMs. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will run the RSLogix but be a hassle doing plc conconnection thru USB or serial. For usb and serial I'd reccommend VMWare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
