Installing Module Licenses (for upgrades only)

Keysight M8100A Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators Getting Started Guide
For details on how to install these licenses, you can refer the following
documents:
• M8000 Series User Guide
(https://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/M8000-91B08.pdf)
• Keysight Licensing Administrator's Guide

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
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 M8070B software license is transported
to another host computer, the module option will remain enabled.
The following procedure shows how to redeem and install a module
license.
1 Locate the Software License Entitlement Certificate (email or paper
copy).
2 Follow the instructions on the Software License Entitlement Certificate
to redeem your license.
3 You will receive a license file (in an email). The file has the suffix .lic.
4 Follow the instructions in the email to complete the installation of the
license file.
5 In the M8070B software interface, verify that the license has been
installed by selecting Utilities > Licenses then viewing the license
status in the Installed column.
