10 Licenses
Temporary License (Trial License)
A temporary (trial) license differs from the perpetual license in a way that it
has an expiration date. These licenses are typically provided at no charge
for evaluation of new functionality that is licensed. Also, rental companies
may use the trial licenses to enable a certain functionality for a limited
time-frame.
A temporary (trial) license can be of the following two types:
• 30 days free trial license - The 30 days free trial license for the M8000

• 9 months DST license - The DST license can only be ordered by rental
companies and distributors.
Transportable Node-Locked License
A transportable license can be moved (transported) from one instrument
to another. It can be either permanent or time-perishable, but it must be
node-locked. Once a license has been transported off of a system, that
feature is no longer valid on that system. If a user wishes to transport the
license back to the original device, he or she is free to do so.
When removed from the device, this license is marked as not reinstallable
on the system. The user is notified and a transport confirmation key will be
generated so that a new license can be redeemed with a new Host ID.
If the license file is transported back to the original system, a unique serial
number ensures that the new license has a different signature from any
previously installed and transported licenses (which cannot be reinstalled).
You can acquire a transportable license by moving the license from a
system where it was previously installed, or by acquiring the license from
the Keysight Software Manager web site. You cannot manually create a
transportable license. Even if you know the correct syntax, construct the
license correctly, and sign it with a license generator, you will not be able
to transport the license. The Keysight Software Manager which provides
the real-time re-hosting does not recognize a transportable license that it
did not originate.
