M8100 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators Getting Started Guide 59
Basic Setup for M8100A 2
Step 13 - Installing the Licenses
The usage of M8070B plugins is governed by Keysight Licensing. Keysight
Licensing provides tools and processes for floating, USB portable,
node-locked, and transportable licenses. These licenses can be installed
using the Keysight License Manager. It helps you install licenses on your
local machine (instrument or computer), or configure your local machine
to use licenses from a remote license server.
Depending upon the license types, the following version of Keysight
License Manager can be used to install the licenses:
• The node-locked and transportable licenses are installed by Keysight
License Manager 5.
• The floating and USB probable licenses are installed by Keysight
License Manager 6.
For details on how to install these licenses, you can refer the following
documents:
• M8000 Series User Guide
(https://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/M8000-91B08.pdf)
• Keysight Licensing Administrator’s Guide
(https://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5951-5739.pdf)
Installing Module Licenses (for upgrades only)
Installing module licenses is only necessary if you add module options
onsite. Module licenses enable specific options in the modules of the
M8100 series. Once a module license has been installed using the Keysight
License Manager, the next time the M8070B software and M8100
hardware are started, the license is recognized by the M8070B software
and compared to the module’s serial number. If the PC Host ID and serial
number match, the EEPROM in the module is programmed and the option
is enabled. Even if the M8070B software license is transported to another
host computer, the module option will remain enabled.
The Keysight License Manager 5 and Keysight License Manager 6 get
installed on your system when you install M8070B system software.
