Step 9 - Install the Licenses
The M8070A software requires a license to communicate with the M8040A
hardware. You either purchased an M8070A license to install on a
dedicated host computer (M8070A- 0TP) or one that can be installed on a
network server that will be used as a license server for operation over a
company network (M8070A-0NP, floating/networked).
In addition to the M8070A license, the M8040A, being a modular product,
includes different sets of modules hosted in an M9505A AXI chassis. Each
module has its own licenses corresponding to specific features. Module
licenses are pre-installed at the factory according to the specific options
that were ordered.
For more detailed information about licensing, refer to the
M8070A User
Guide
.
NOTE
All M8040A-BU1 licenses have been pre-installed (except for a
floating/networked license). All other system configurations require
license installation as described in this step.
