Feature license keys
Feature license keys allow you to upgrade the 215U-2 module with
enhanced features or to a more advanced model (for example, by
enabling the data logging option). You can purchase the feature
license keys by contacting your sales representative or local
distributor. To complete the purchase, you will need to provide
the module serial number so that the feature license key can be
generated for the module. The module serial number can be found
on the home page (see
Figure 40
).
After receiving the feature key certificate, follow the instructions in
“Enabling a feature license key” on this page to install the feature
on the module. You can also temporarily enable all feature license
options by placing the module in demonstration mode. See the
following section, "Using demonstration mode"
Click
Feature Keys
in the menu to enable or demo feature license
key options (
