ASE2000 V2 Communication Test Set User Manual 128
22. ASE License/Firmware Updater
22.1. ASE License/Firmware Updater Overview
This ASE License/Firmware Updater program will be used whenever a new BCOM-USB device
license or new device rmware must be installed.
The BCOM-USB device is the rst ASE test set I/O device that utilizes on-board license
information and eld updatable rmware that utilizes an update program rather than rmware
chip replacement.
Normally, the License will not need to be updated. However, for PCs running ASE2000 Version
1.47 or higher, where the BCOM-USB is replacing an ASE 2-Channel PCMCIA Card or Sentinel
Security Plug (dongle) as part of a BCOM-USB Upgrade transaction, the BCOM-USB devices
will be shipped with a 60 day license. The license will permit test set operation with the BCOM-
USB device for up to 60 days (from the date of shipment) or 75 executions of the test set using
the BCOM-USB device. When the original test set equipment (PCMCIA card or Sentinel Dongle)
is returned to ASE, a new, unlimited, license le will be provided. If the unlimited license le is
not installed, the BCOM-USB will stop functioning. The only way to re-activate is to install a new,
unlimited, license.
Where the BCOM-USB is provided with a new test set purchase, the BCOM-USB will be delivered
with an unlimited license.
If the BCOM-USB has a Limited License, the following ASE2000 Test Set message will appear
each time a request to start communication is made. The specic date and “allowed execution
count” will depend on when the device was shipped and the number of times the test set
applications has been run under the Limited License.
