A firmware upgrade implements significant improvements and new functions which take the product
to a new level. Downloading and applying a firmware upgrade is the same as with firmware update.
However a software key may have to be purchased and applied to activate the new functionality or the
upgrade itself (see the next chapter).
See chapter
for more.
2.8. Software feature keys
Certain advanced RipEX features are activated with software keys. SW feature keys enable the users
to initially purchase only the functionality they require and buy additional functions as the requirements
and expectations grow. Similarly, when some features (e.g. COM2) are required on certain sites, the
corresponding key can be activated only where needed.
•
Keys protect the investment into hardware. Thanks to SDR-based hardware design of RipEX no
physical replacement is necessary – the user simply buys a key and activates the feature.
•
For evaluation and testing, Time-limited keys can be supplied. These keys activate the coded feature
for a limited operational (power on) time only. Free Master-key trial for 30 days is in every RipEX.
•
Software keys are always tied to a specific RipEX production code.
