Options Permissions Upgrade

These instructions are for personnel who are familiar with servicing the product.

If you need further details refer to the appropriate product manual. Contact your

nearest Tektronix, Inc., Service Center for installation assistance.

NOTE. Each MTS4EA software key (dongle) contains two sets of permissions:

one for the enabled MTS4EA options, and another for the user licenses. Since

separate processes are used to upgrade the options permissions and the user

licenses stored in the dongle, you can upgrade the options permissions and the

user licenses in any order.

Options Permissions Upgrade Procedure

The software key (dongle) stores the permissions for the enabled MTS4EA

options. The options permissions are upgraded using an update program and an

encrypted data file. Tektronix provides these files either by floppy disk or

CD-ROM with this kit, or by email.

Perform the following steps to upgrade the MTS4EA options permissions:

CAUTION. To prevent an upgrade failure, your computer or Tektronix MPEG

instrument must have the associated MTS4EA software key (dongle) installed.

Be sure that the dongle you are updating is the one you specified in the upgrade

order. The upgrade data file can be applied to the dongle only one time and it

will work only with the dongle specified at the time you ordered the upgrade.

1. If you received your upgrade files via email proceed to step 2. Otherwise,

insert the floppy disk or CD-ROM supplied with this kit into the appropriate

drive on your computer or Tektronix MPEG instrument.

2. Copy the upgrade files from the floppy disk or CD-ROM, or from the email,

to any directory on your computer or Tektronix MPEG instrument.

4MTS4EA License Upgrade Instructions

CAUTION. If the DESkey server is installed and running on the computer or

Tektronix MPEG instrument, you must stop the server service before you run the

executable file in step 3 below. If you do not stop the service, you will get an

error message when you attempt to run the file.

To stop the server service, open the Control Panel (Windows Start > Settings >

Control Panel) and select the DESkey icon, which opens the DESkey Configura-

tion dialog box. In the dialog box, select the Networking tab. Click the Stop

button if the server service is running. The server button will say Start when the

service is not running.

3. From the directory where you copied the upgrade files, run the following

executable file: remoteupdate.exe. The executable file will then use the

accompanying data file to securely change the contents of the dongle

memory to include any new options.

4. If necessary, remove the floppy disk or CD-ROM from the computer or

Tektronix MPEG instrument.

MTS4EA License Upgrade Instructions 5

User License Upgrade

The instructions on the following pages describe how to perform the license

upgrades listed below:

HFloating License Upgrade. Adds more user licenses to an existing floating

license.

HNode-locked to Floating License Upgrade. Converts a node-locked (single

machine) license to a single-user floating license.

User License Upgrade Process

The activities listed below are required to perform the user license upgrade:

1. You create a Customer Update Request File (CURF) and send that file to

Tektronix. The CURF is specific to the dongle on your existing product.

NOTE. The instructions for creating the CURF are described in Generating a

Customer Update Request File (CURF) starting on page 12.

2. Tektronix uses the CURF to create a License Upgrade File (LUF).

3. Tektronix sends you the LUF either on floppy disk or CD-ROM, or by

email.

NOTE. When you receive the upgrade files from Tektronix, you must copy the files

to a single directory on the hard drive of the client machine containing the

installed MTS4EA Compressed Video ES Analyzer used to create the CURF.

4. You apply the LUF to the dongle using the DESkey configuration utility.

NOTE. The instructions for applying the LUF are described in Floating License

Upgrade Procedure starting on page 6.

When the dongle has been upgraded, the LUF will become obsolete.
