Simrad Echo sounder system Instruction manual
Obtaining and installing the software license
for raw data recording
To use the echo sounder system with a transceiver you need a valid software license.
Before you can use the echo sounder system you must obtain a "license string" and
install it on your computer. Without a license you will not be able to communicate with
the transceiver. You need a second software license to record raw data. The second
software license is time limited for this specific purpose.
Prerequisites
This procedure is only valid for calibration of your echo sounder system. The software
license for ordinary use of the echo sounder system is installed.
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.
Note
Once you receive your software license string(s), do not lose them. We suggest that you
copy the information into a text file (for example Notepad), and add relevant information.
Place the text file on the computer desktop, and make sure that backup copies are made.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact one of our dealers or distributors.
You can also contact our main support office in Norway.
