Adding Functionality by
Enabling Licenses
The HART Application, Device Configuration Management, and Graphics are licensed
in all 475 Field Communicators, but other functionality requires a license. Renew or
add licenses anytime at your site by using the Online Licensing feature in the Field
Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility. Only the Easy Upgrade license needs to be
renewed.
Viewing Current Licenses
To view the current licenses and the Easy Upgrade expiration date in your 475 Field
Communicator, double-tap Settings from the Field Communicator Main Menu. Then
double-tap License.
The Easy Upgrade Utility can also display all licensing information from the Licensing
& Registration window or Upgrade window. A 475 Field Communicator must be
connected to view licensing information from the Upgrade window.
Purchasing and Downloading New Licenses
You can select and enable new licenses for a 475 Field Communicator from your site.
There are four basic steps to obtain new licenses:
1. Register your 475 Field Communicator by connecting it to the Easy Upgrade Utility
and logging in to the Licensing & Registration window.
2. Select the licenses to purchase and note the appropriate part numbers. You can
select licenses for multiple Field Communicators at one time.
3. Submit a purchase order to your sales representative.You are notified when your
order has been processed and the licenses are available for download.
4. Connect the 475 Field Communicator to the Easy Upgrade Utility, and use the
Licensing & Registration window to enable the purchased licenses.
See the Easy Upgrade Utility Help for more information on selecting and enabling
licenses.
You can send your 475 Field Communicator to a service center to have a technician
enable licenses for you. Contact your sales representative for more information.
