Introduction
Ixia's license management system. Ixia Licensing Utility (ILU) and License Server Plus (LS+)
replace Ixia Registration Utility (IRU) and License Server (LS). ILU enables you to do the
following:
l Centralize and monitor your software usage.
l Maintain an accurate license inventory.
l Smoothly transfer licenses across different hosts and teams.
Offline activation and deactivation of licenses are also available now.
The Activation Code for the purchased Ixia product(s) is sent in an e-mail message, when you
purchase an Ixia software. Enter this Activation Code in ILU to generate a license. For the licensed
software to work properly, licenses must be activated on-site. License activation for an Ixia product
can be done after the software installation but must be done before the software usage.
The licensing operation is done with a simple wizard and can be run in the following ways:
l The same computer on which the software was installed
l Some other Windows-based computer with the following minimum system requirements:
n Microsoft
®
Windows
