DCA Node-Locked and Device-Locked Licensing

Node-Locked FlexDCA (N1010100A, N1010200A, N1010300A) and FlexOTO (N1002000A, N1002014A, N1002048A, N1002128A) licenses can be redeemed as either a classic node-locked license or as a device-locked license. Depending on the format of the entered Host/Device ID used during redemption, Keysight Software Manager (KSM) will generate a license file in the corresponding format.

Device-Locked licensing is not supported for the following license types: Transportable, Network/Floating, or USB.

Node-Locked

Classic node-locked licenses are installed on PCs, DCA-X mainframes (N1000A, 86100D), and UXR real-time oscilloscopes (for the FlexRT application). A classic node-locked license is created when the Host ID found in Keysight License Manager (KLM) is used for redemption. This license must be installed using KLM and will be installed on the instrument or PC hard drive. Note – the KLM Host ID contains a COMMA (example: PCSERNO,AB12345678 or UXR0402A,US12345678).

Device-Locked

Device-locked licenses are installed on DCA-M family products including N1002A, N109xx, and N107xx. A device-locked license is created when the Device ID, <model number><dash><serial number>, is used for redemption. This license must be installed using PathWave License Manager (PLM) and FlexDCA A.07.00 or later is required for both installation and recognition of the installed license. Device-locked licenses are installed in an instrument's internal memory and are independent from the controlling PC. Note – a Device ID contains a DASH (example: N1092A-US12345678).
