Seeing a "S/W Reg. expires in 57 days" Fault

    I wrote my first code, and was able to step through it. I turned the Key to Auto, put the switch on the pendant to Off, and hit start on the controller when I saw

    "S/W Reg. expires in 57 days"

    and the robot stops.

    If I hit the Reset button the pendant, the error reappears in about 2 seconds.

    How do I get around this?

    From the manual

    SYST-169 S/W Registration is temporary

    Cause: S/W Registration is in effect. This alarm is posted when there are more than 28 days until
    registration expires.

    Remedy: Display the S/W Registration screen:
    1. Press MENUS.
    2. Select STATUS.
    3. Contact FANUC America Corporation to obtain an authorization key to extend the time.
