The License Key data entry page allows the system administrator to update the PTP 400
Series Bridge license key. Figure 70 shows a sample license key data entry page.
Figure 70 - Software License Key Data Entry
The user must enter the license key and click the ‘Validate License Key’ button to check that
the key is valid and store it in non-volatile memory.
A license key is programmed into each unit during production and can be found written on the
Configuration Data Summary Label which is attached to the Quick Start Guide. If
subsequently the license key has been mislaid, replacement keys can be applied for online.
If a valid license key is not detected in the unit’s non-volatile memory, the user is prompted to
enter a valid key. It should be noted that PTP 400 Series Bridge are shipped as link pairs and
as such, valid license keys are entered during the production process. Hence the user should
never see the Software License Key screen (Figure 70).
To enter a license key simply type or paste the license key into the data entry box and click
the ‘validate license key’ button.
