Obtaining and installing the software license
To operate the EK80 with a transceiver you need a valid software license. Before you
can use the EK80 you must obtain a "license string" and install it on your Processor Unit.
Without a license you will not be able to communicate with the transceiver.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that the EK80 operating software has been successfully installed
on the Processor Unit.
Context
The software license is a 32 character hexadecimal string based on the transceiver’s serial
number. It defines several key parameters that control the functionality and behaviour
of the transceiver(s) you use. Each software license code "unlocks" one transceiver for
operational use with a set of predefined properties.
The software license is not linked to the physical Processor Unit. You can therefore
easily move the software from one computer to another, just remember to make a copy
of the license string.
Note
Once you receive your software license string(s), do not lose them. We suggest that you
copy the information into a text file (for example Notepad), and add relevant information.
Place the text file on the Processor Unit desktop, and make sure that backup copies
are made.
