Keysight X-Series Analyzer Licensing Options
The Keysight X-Series Signal Analyzers have four licensing types that have one
of two terms attached. The terms are P (Perpetual) and L (1 year). These
licensing types and terms are available on all existing measurement
applications except the Spectrum Analyzer Measurement Application, which
requires a fixed perpetual license (shipped Standard). Fixed Perpetual licenses
are also required to enable hardware options.
Fixed Licenses
Fixed licenses are the traditional license type with the same duration that have
been available for all features since the introduction of the X-Series analyzers.
Fixed licenses are identified by the “F” in the second character and a “P” or an
"L" in the third character of the option designator:
Example: N9068EM0E-1FP or N9068EM0E-1FL
A license key is instrument model and serial number dependent. You can only
install the license key on the specific instrument for which it was created.
Transportable Licenses
Transportable licenses are a type of license offering deployment duration that
is not fixed to a specific instrument model and serial number. Transportable
licenses are identified in the product structure by a “T” in the second character
and a “P” or an "L" in the third character of the option designator:
Example: N9068EM0E-1TP or N9068EM0E-1TL
Transportable licenses require a connection to the Keysight server only for
managing the transfer of the license to and from the instrument. The
connection to the Keysight server may be via the instrument itself or an
external PC. The Keysight licensing server also provides for storage of unused
licenses that have been transported off instruments but are awaiting
assignment to new instruments. The server will limit the number of transports
per 30 day period per application license to 10.
Transportable licenses require redemption and installation of the license before
the first use. This allows the user to determine on which instrument to initially
install the application license.
It is recommended that instruments be at the same instrument software
release to ensure the latest code is available on each instrument so that the
user experience is identical between instruments. This is particularly important
when transporting the license for a newly-released application, which may only
be available in the latest software release.
