Chapter 7: Confirming Installation and Updating Software 63
Activating Your Software License
S6 Master Module software must be activated when prompted after installation or an upgrade. When the Software License Acti-
vation screen appears, do the following to perform an Offline Activation. Offline activation requires a separate internet-connected
computer and USB flash drive. You can use the same USB flash drive on which you copied the
S6MasterModuleInstall software.
