Software License page
The ST90 system does not need any software licenses to operate. However, specific software license codes "unlocks" additional functionality. The Software License settings allow you to type a license code (text string) to unlock these optional functions.
How to open
This page is located in the Installation dialog box. To open the page, select Installation on the Setup menu.
Prerequisites
The Installation dialog box is not available when your ST90 system is set to Replay mode.
Description
The software license is a 32 character hexadecimal string based on the hardware identifier (Hardware ID). This unique identifier is generated using information from key components in the Processor Unit. The software license is linked to the physical Processor Unit. You cannot move the ST90 system software from one Processor Unit to another unless you also request and install a new license.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact one of our dealers or distributors. You can also use the request form on our website, or contact our support department directly.
Once you receive your software license string(s), do not lose them. We suggest that you copy the information into a text file (for example Notepad), and add relevant information. Place the text file on the computer desktop, and make sure that backup copies are made.
When you work in the Installation dialog box, you must always select Apply to save the changes made on a page. You must do this before you continue working on a different page.
The following licensing options are available for the ST90 system:
- NetCDF
The ST90 system supports netCDF4, where the number refers to the version of the format. SONAR-NetCDF4 is a data and metadata convention for storage of data from active sonars in NetCDF4 formatted files, defined by The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). Sonar-NetCDF4 consists primarily of a naming convention and a data structure within the NetDCF4 data model.
- Extended range
By adding a specific software license you can increase the maximum range to 14.000 metres.
