Obtaining and installing a software license for additional
functionality
The MF90 system does not need any software licenses to operate. However, specific
software license codes "unlocks" additional functionality.
Context
The software license is a 32 character hexadecimal string based on the hardware identifier
(
Hardware ID
). This unique identifier is generated using information from key components
in the Processor Unit. The software license is linked to the physical Processor Unit. You
cannot move the MF90 system software from one Processor Unit to another unless you also
request and install a new license.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact one of our dealers or distributors. You
can also use the request form on our website, or contact our support department directly.
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 computer desktop, and make sure that backup copies are made.
When you work in the
Installation
dialog box, you must always select
Apply
to save the
changes made on a page. You must do this before you continue working on a different page.
The following licensing option is available for the MF90 system:
NetCDF
The MF90 system supports netCDF4, where the number refers to the version of the
format. SONAR-NetCDF4 is a data and metadata convention for storage of data from
active sonars in NetCDF4 formatted files, defined by The International Council for
the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). Sonar-NetCDF4 consists primarily of a naming
convention and a data structure within the NetDCF4 data model.
