Installing module licenses is only necessary if you add module options
onsite. Module licenses enable specific options in the modules of the
M8040A system. Once a module license has been installed using the
Keysight License Manager, the next time the M8070A software and
M8040A hardware are started, the license is recognized by the M8070A
software and compared to the module's serial number. If the PC Host ID
and serial number match, the EEPROM in the module is programmed and
the option is enabled. Even if the M8070A software license is transported
to another host computer, the module option will remain enabled.
