Transporting a License
Transportable licenses can be identified by the letters "TP" in their option designator.
For example, W9063A-2TP indicates the license is transportable and perpetual. To
transport this license from one controller to another, Keysight recommends that both
controllers be at the same software release. This ensures that the user experience is
identical between controllers. As a minimum, the target system must at least be able
to support the desired application.
The CXA-m signal analyzer support several ways of transporting licenses. The
procedure below will focus on the most common procedure, where neither of the
controller has access to an internet connection. We will refer to the controller from
which the transportable license will be removed as the "source system/controller".
We will refer to the controller which will receive the transportable license as the
"target system/controller".
Keysight recommends that the system running Keysight License Manager is
connected to the Internet, and connected to both the source system and target system,
which are connected to a LAN. If you do not have this recommended network
configuration, see the Keysight License Manager Help for details on how to
transport a license.
If you have the recommended network configuration implemented, you can easily
transport a transportable license by performing the following procedure:
1. In Keysight License Manager, have both the source system and target system
2. In the Tree View, expand the source system's Installed Licenses node so that all
3. In the Tree View, drag the transportable license from the source system to the
The license is automatically transported from the source system to the target system,
and it now appears under the target system's installed licenses in the Tree View. Note
that the transport operation takes some time to complete (up to 60-90 seconds) due to
the Internet activity with the Keysight software- license- redemption procedure.
If either the source system or the target system is not visible in the Tree View
because the Tree View's displayed area is too small to contain both systems, you can
transport a license by cutting and pasting the transportable license. (That is, cut the
license from the source system, scroll to the target system, and then paste the license
into the target system.
