Basic Setup for M8040A
Installing M8070A-0NP Floating/Networked License
An M8070A-0NP floating/networked license resides on a network server
and is accessible by multiple users. The user checks out a license each
time the software is accessed. The server tracks the number of licenses
checked out and the number of licenses available for use.
The server must be running license services. This server can be a
dedicated computer running the license server or it can run license
services and the M8070A software concurrently.
Firewall Configuration for Licensing
If your instrument or PC has a firewall installed and enabled, your system
administrator may need to allow certain executables and/or a limited
range of port numbers to go through the firewall. This topic discusses
