Moving the software license from one Processor Unit to
another
Without a license you will not be able to communicate with the transceiver. The software
license for the ES80 is not linked to the physical Processor Unit. If necessary, you can
therefore easily move the ES80 software from one computer to another.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• Your existing ES80 is operational with all necessary software licenses installed.
• You have a new computer to be used as Processor Unit.
• The ES80 software has been installed on the new Processor Unit.
• The new Processor Unit is connected to the transceiver(s).
In order to do this task you will need a small text editor (for example the Microsoft
Notepad) running on both computers. You will also need a USB flash drive.
Context
The software license is a 32 character hexadecimal string based on the transceiver's serial
number. It defines several key parameters that control the functionality and behaviour
of the transceiver(s) you use. Each software license code "unlocks" one Wide Band
Transceiver (WBT) for operational use with a set of predefined properties.
Procedure
1 Start the ES80 on the "old" Processor Unit.
