SmartBits 600x/6000x Installation Guide | 117
11 Once installation is complete, you need to install a key file that allows you to use
the product with your particular SmartBits chassis. This key file is contained on a
3.5-inch diskette that is shipped with the
product CD or is emailed to you from
Spirent Communications Technical Support. Download the key file, which appears in
the format <application>key.txt, into the directory where the product is installed.
(See below for more information on key files.)
Running the Application
The applications icon will be installed by default in the SmartBits Applications directory.
You also have the option to install a shortcut on your desktop. To run the application,
select Start > Programs > SmartBits Applications > DesiredApplication or click twice
on the applications icon.
Note: Some SmartBits applications may use the directory: Start > Programs > Netcom
Systems Applications > DesiredApplication.
Key Files
When you start a SmartBits application, you may get the No Authorization message. This
indicates that the application cannot find the key file for the application.
All SmartBits applications, except the core applications (SmartWindow,
SmartApplications, and SmartLibrary), require a key file. Look for the 3.5 in. (8.9 cm.)
disk supplied with your application; it will contain your key file, which you can copy into
the directory where your application resides.
If the key file is not found, the application will run in demo mode; that is, it will run for a
limited time and then timeout and close.
If you had a previous installation of the application, copy the
<application>key.txt file
from that directory to the new installation directory.
If you have lost your <application>key.txt
file, you will need to call Spirent
Communications Technical Support to have another file created for you. You will need to
have the chassis serial number associated with the
key file, as well as an email address to
receive the key file. When you receive the file, copy it to the directory where the SmartBits
application is installed.
Key files are keyed to a specific SmartBits chassis. If you want to move your application
to another PC, you simply move the
key file to the new PC with the application. If you
want to run the application on a different SmartBits chassis, you will need another key file.
Note: Spirent Communications Technical Support can generate special keys with more
than one chassis number. See “How to Contact Us” on page 6.
