46 X-Series Signal Analyzers Getting Started and Troubleshooting Guide
Instrument Operating System
Keysight X-Series Analyzer Licensing Options
With USB portable licenses, the pre-installed Keysight Floating License
Manager is used to add licenses to the instrument’s server.
USB Portable licenses with a limited count are checked out and in like Network
licenses. Because the licenses are local, there will be no network latency
involved in the check-out/check-in, but there can still be a slight performance
degradation compared to Fixed and Transportable licenses.
USB Portable licenses that are "uncounted", will perform comparably to the
Fixed and Transportable licenses.
Plugging/un-plugging the dongle is equivalent to transporting a license
to/from the instrument, however, the XSA application must be restarted
whenever the dongle is plugged in.
Configuring Network and USB Licenses
The Keysight Floating License Manager must be used to configure the Network
or USB Portable licenses before the licenses can be used. An instrument can
be configured for Network or USB Portable licenses or both. To set up USB
Portable licenses, in the Keysight Floating License Manager select “Start a
floating license server with a license file” and add files containing the USB
Portable licenses desired. To set up Network licenses, in the Keysight Floating
License Manager select “Connect to a floating license server” and enter the
network server’s name preceded by the “@” character (example:
“@myserver”). To set up both Network and USB Portable license, first
configure the USB Portable license, then configure the Network licenses, but
append “;@localhost” to the server name (example: “@myserver;@localhost”).
Whenever the configuration is changed, the X-Series software must be
restarted.
