Situation of using this service mode
This service mode is used to invalidate a license under the assumption that, when a device is
exceptionally replaced with another one due to a trouble (caused by the device), the license
is transferred to another device. This operation is called "invalidating transfer of a license".
Since it is possible to select the same device as a destination of the transfer, this service
mode can be also used to invalidate a function on a temporary basis. Careful attention,
however, is required because, if you invalidate a function by mistake, you need to contact a
sales company for recovery.
Take utmost precaution when inactivating the license
When invalidating transfer of a license, it is necessary to invalidate the license by entering the
service mode and issue a function invalidation certificate key, which certifies that the license
has been invalidated. This operation can be executed for each optional function. At the point
when a function invalidation certificate key is issued, the function is invalidated and becomes
unavailable. When you report this function invalidation certificate key, the serial number of
the transfer origination device, the serial number of the transfer destination device, and the
reason why you need to perform the transfer to a sales company, a new license key is issued
for installation for the transfer destination device. Be sure to write down the new license key
when you receive it and, when it is registered in the transfer destination device successfully,
inform the user of the new license key and explain him/her to keep it at hand.
Operation Procedure
(1) Enter the service mode and display the following service mode. (Press one key at once to
enter the service mode in the order of "Main, 2, 8, Main".)
