Test Set Operating System
Transporting a License Between Test Sets
Transportable licenses can be identified by the letters "TP" in their option designator. For
example, V9077A-2TP indicates the license is transportable and perpetual. To transport
this license from one test set to another, Agilent recommends that both test sets be at the
same instrument software release. This ensures that the user experience is identical
between instruments.
As a minimum, the instrument software release in the test set that will receive the
transportable license (the "target instrument") must at least be able to support the desired
application.
The E6630A test sets support several ways of transporting licenses. The procedure
below will focus on the most common procedure, where neither of the test sets has
access to an internet connection. For this procedure to work, a PC with an internet
connection is required
You will need the following:
• USB flash drive
• USB keyboard
• USB mouse
We will refer to the test set from which the transportable license will be removed as the
"source instrument". We will refer to the test set which will receive the transportable
license as the "target instrument".
Procedure for Transporting a License, Neither Test Set Connected to the
Internet
Step
1 Connect the USB devices
to the source instrument
2 Verify software version
in each test set
3 Obtain the Host ID from
the Target Instrument
50
Action
•
Connect the USB flash drive, USB
keyboard, and USB mouse to the USB
ports on the source instrument.
•
On the Virtual Front Panel for each test
set, press System, Show, System and
make note of the Instrument S/W Revision
on each.
•
On the target instrument, press System,
Show, System, and make note of the
Host ID.
Notes
It will be necessary to use one or more of
the rear panel ports to connect the USB
devices.
Ideally, the revisions will be the same.
But at least, both versions should be able
to support the application whose license
is being transported.
This information will be needed to issue
the license for the target instrument. The
Host ID is the model number, followed
by a comma, followed by the serial
number.
