3 Multi-Instrument Software License Information
3.1 License Types
The License of Multi-Instrument software has six levels and six add-on modules/functions.
The six levels are: Sound Card Oscilloscope, Sound Card Spectrum Analyzer, Sound Card
Signal Generator, Multi-Instrument Lite, Multi-Instrument Standard, Multi-Instrument Pro.
The six add-on modules/functions are: Spectrum 3D Plot, Data Logger, LCR Meter, Device
Test Plan, Vibrometer, and Dedicated Hardware Support.
The license contained in the standard VT RTA-168 package is a hardkey activated Multi-
Instrument Standard license, without any add-on modules/functions. No softkey (activation
code) is provided. The software will run under the licensed mode as long as the USB
hardkey (dongle) is connected to your computer before you launch the Multi-Instrument
software.
Note: If the software is launched without the USB hardkey connected to the computer, it will
enter into 21-day fully functional trial mode, unless the software is activated by a softkey
(activation code), which is NOT included in the standard VT RTA-168 package and should
be purchased separately as a brand-new license if needed.
3.2 License Upgrade from One Level to Another
You can purchase an upgrade of the license, e.g. from Multi-instrument Standard to Multi-
Instrument Pro + Data Logger, at any time if necessary. After you purchase the upgrade, a
small upgrade package file will be sent to you via email. You can then use it to upgrade the
license information inside the USB hardkey by selecting [Start]>[All Programs]>[Multi-
Instrument]>[VIRTINS Hardware Upgrading Tool] on your Windows desktop.
3.3 Software Upgrade in the Same License Level
Software upgrade in the same license level (if the hardkey is still supported by the new
version), e.g. from Multi-Instrument 3.0 Standard to Multi-Instrument 3.1 Standard, is
always FREE. You just need to download the new version from our website and install it on
any computer.
Thus, please do check frequently with our website to see if a new version or build is
available.
