Obtaining and installing the software license

To operate the ES80 with a transceiver you need a valid software license. Before you can
use the ES80 you must obtain a "license string" and install it on your Processor Unit.
Without a license you will not be able to communicate with the transceiver.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that the ES80 operating software has been successfully installed
on the Processor Unit.
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.
The software license is not linked to the physical Processor Unit. You can therefore
easily move the software from one computer to another, just remember to make a copy
of the license string.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact a Simrad dealer or distributor. You
can also use the request form on http://www.simrad.com/support, or contact our support
department directly.
