Licensing to a Chassis or Workstation without the Internet
In this case, the Installation Host is not connected to the Internet and the licenses are installed to the
workstation or Ixia chassis to which the license pertains (the workstation and the Installation Host can
be the same computer). The Installation Host must also be connected to the workstation/chassis (if
they are not the same computer).
To complete the installation process, an additional computer is necessary—an Online Host, as shown
in the following figure. This computer must be connected to the Internet. It is necessary to transfer
small amounts of information from the Online Host to the Installation Host to complete the process. E-
mail or a portable USB drive may be appropriate.
