Purchasing Additional Modules
If you purchase an additional module, you will receive a license key that is used to
activate the pre-installed module on the Microlog.
To purchase a module license key, contact your local SKF office and provide your
Microlog’s serial number and unit ID. The serial number is located on the asset label on
the rear of the unit. The unit ID is displayed on the
Help
menu’s
About
box.
Once you have received a 7
-digit license key, you can activate the module.
To activate a preinstalled module:
•
If necessary, unhide the module that you have purchased using the steps described
under
Hiding and Showing Icons
, above. This places the module’s icon on the Main
Menu.
•
Select the module’s icon on the Main Menu and press an Enter button. If the
module is unlicensed, a prompt appears asking for the license key.
•
Enter the 7-digit license key for this module and press
OK
.
Once the module is activated successfully, you can then run it again without having to
re-enter the license key.
