To Verify Support Entitlement
Appropriate licensing is required to use any Spirent TestCenter application for testing.
If your Spirent TestCenter Support Entitlement has expired, you will not be able to use
upgraded software. A Support Entitlement is current if its version (date) is equal to or later
than the
Release Date (see below) associated with the Spirent TestCenter upgrade you
want to install.
To look up the Support Entitlement version date:
1
Launch the Spirent TestCenter Application that is installed on your computer.
2
Connect to all chassis that you plan to upgrade or downgrade.
3
Select Tools > Licensing Management in the main window menu.

Expand the first chassis listing on the Chassis tab.
• The Chassis column displays the name of each licensed package and Support
Entitlement.
• The Version column displays the date on which the Support Entitlement became
effective (format is YYYY. MM).
• The information in the Expiration column indicates that the installed package is a
licensed version ( Permanent ) or a demo version (a date).

ment entry and note its Version date.
