Set Up Your System
License Manager
Introduction
Software options can be enabled using one of two methods:
• Software license keys (also called “Dongles”) that are
attached to either the USB or parallel port on your
computer. The software license key included with the
E6474A software contains the licenses for the software
options you have purchased.
• Keyless software licenses from a software license server
(E6474A- 081). Software licensing provides the ability to
maintain a pool of measurement licenses on a server and
then distribute those licenses to client drive- test PCs
using a check- out process. Typically only one server
application is required per customer.
License Manager software is automatically installed when
you install the E6474A software. This software allows you to:
• Transfer licenses between keys included (for example,
between the DB25 parallel key and USB key)
• Add software options to your license key
• Transfer licenses between keys
• Check- out software license from a network- based server
• Transfer licensed product options between license keys
• View online help on the use of License Manager features
NOTE
quires
Agilent E6474A software requires Software and Support Update Service
(SUS) licenses. Without a valid SUS license you will not be able to collect
measurement data, design views or add and edit events, although you will
be able to playback recorded data.
