All M8100A-BU6 licenses have been pre-installed (except for a
NOTE
floating/networked license). All other system configurations require
license installation as described in this step.
The usage of M8070B plugins is govern by Keysight Licensing. Keysight
Licensing provides tools and processes for floating, USB portable,
node-locked, and transportable licenses. These licenses can be installed
using the Keysight License Manager. It helps you install licenses on your
local machine (instrument or computer), or configure your local machine
to use licenses from a remote license server.
Depending upon the license types, the following version of Keysight
License Manager can be used to install the licenses:
• The node-locked and transportable licenses are installed by Keysight
License Manager 5.
• The floating and USB probable licenses are installed by Keysight
License Manager 6.
Please note that the Keysight License Manager 5 and Keysight License
NOTE
Manager 6 get installed on your system when you install M8070B system
software.
For details on how to install these licenses, you can refer the following
documents:

Installing module licenses is only necessary if you add module options
onsite. Module licenses enable specific options in the modules of the
M8100A system. Once a module license has been installed using the
Keysight License Manager, the next time the M8070B software and
M8100A hardware are started, the license is recognized by the M8070B
