Memory upgrades are available: - TRI-045: LMOC192c 128MB Memory Upgrade - TRI-046: LM10GE 128 MB Memory Upgrade Please contact Ixia for details.Licensing IxNetwork 5.30 EA SP5 Patch1 requires that a license for its use be installed for each chassis used by IxNetwork. That license may be installed on each chassis or on a server on your network, referred to as the central license server.NOTE: IxOS 5.00 SP2 and later versions of IxOS also require a license. Please read the IxOS release notes for license operation and installation instructions.IxNetwork 5.30 EA SP5 Patch1 ships with Ixia Licensing 2.70 EA SP1.Installing a LicenseIf you wish to use a central license server, make sure to install the Licensing Package on that server. This can be downloaded from the Ixia Support website.If you are upgrading from an earlier version of IxNetwork or IxRouter or are evaluating IxNetwork, please jump ahead to Using a Temporary License.If this is a new installation of IxNetwork, you should have received an email with your Registration Number and Password. If you have not received it yet, please jump ahead to Using a Temporary License.Your license is installed using the Ixia Registration Utility (IRU) from the start menu (Start-Ixia-Licensing-IRU). You may run the IRU from the chassis or from any Windows host connected to the chassis. Select the Register choice and press the Start button. Follow the instructions on the screen. In Step 2, enter the name or IP address of the chassis that the license will apply to. In step 3, if you are using a central license server, select No and enter the name of the license server. If you are not using a central license server, select Yes instead.Using a License ServerIf you will be using a central license server with IxNetwork, make sure to set the name of the server in IxNetworks Settings-Preferences menu choice.To allow use of a central license server by the Tcl API, a new system environment variable IXN_LICENSE_SERVER must be set on the client PC. If you are running your Tcl program on a UNIX client, the environment variable must be set on the host running the Tcl Server. Environment variables are set on a UNIX host through the users shell initialization script. Environment variables are set on a Windows host by using the following instructions:1. Right-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop and then left-click on Properties.2. Choose the Advanced tab from the System Properties dialog box.3. Press the Environment Variable button at the bottom of the page.4. In either the User variables for. or System variables list, if IXN_LICENSE_SERVER does not exist in the list, press New, otherwise press Edit.5. The name of the variable should be IXN_LICENSE_SERVER and the value should be the name or IP address of the license server machine.Updating LicensesIxia has made changes to its licensing technology to minimize license update requirements. In the past license updates were required with every software upgrade. Moving forward license updates will be required at most once every year when software maintenance is renewed.In order to move to this new licensing paradigm, current users of IxNetwork will need to update their existing licenses once. For some customers (if you bought or renewed maintenance for IxNetwork in the first couple of months of 2007) this process will not be necessary. The process to update a license is as follows: 1. Run the Ixia Registration Utility (IRU) from the start menu (Start-Ixia- Licensing-IRU). 2. You may run the IRU from the chassis or from any Windows host connected to the chassis. 3. Select the Update option and follow the instructions on the screen to complete this process.Using a Temporary LicenseIt is possible to use IxNetwork for a period of time prior to installation of a permanent license through the use of a temporary license. When you first connect IxNetwork to a chassis, if there is no license found for the chassis, you will be offered the opportunity to install a temporary license. A permanent license should be installed before the expiration of the temporary license. You will receive warnings from IxNetwork prior to the expiration of the temporary license.Installing Licensing SoftwareThe Ixia licensing package is installed as part of the IxNetwork server component installation. In some cases you will receive the following message: In order for Ixia licensing software to work correctly, it will be necessary to make a change to your system. If you are connected to the Internet, all of your licenses for this chassis will automatically be adjusted. If not, please follow the instructions in the Release Notes prior to rebooting. Other, non-Ixia applications may require re-licensing.If you receive this message and your computer is not connected to the Internet, please use the following instructions after rebooting: 1) Using the IRU (Start-Ixia-Licensing-IRU): a. Use the Manage Licenses choice to identify all of the licenses on the chassis. b. For each: i. Find your original registration emails. ii. Deregister all of the licenses using the IRUs Deregister function. 2) For each of the licenses identified in 1a: a. Register the license using the IRUs Register function.Installation Notes Upgrading from a release prior to IXOS 5.10 SP2To ensure proper operation of an Ixia chassis with IxOS 5.10 EA SP3 or later versionsof IxOS 5.10 EA, prior to installing this release you must un-install all previousversions of Ixia applications, Ixia StatEngine, Ixia StatEngine PCPU packages and IxOS.You should use the Add/Remove utility in the Windows Control Panel. After theun-installations are complete the chassis must be rebooted.
