6. License Considerations

ChassisUpgrader reads the status of both the software and hardware maintenance licenses for all test modules installed on the chassis. It only allows chassis upgrades when all test modules within the chassis possess a valid software maintenance license.

Fig. 6.1 Warranty and Maintenance

Within the panel labeled as Warranty and Maintenance, you can access information regarding the hardware warranty and software maintenance for all synchronized chassis and test modules. This panel provides details for each entity, including the following information:

  1. Name: The name and type label for the entity (chassis or test module).

  2. Model: Model of hardware (product number incl. version).

  3. SerialNo.: The serial number for the entity.

  4. SW Maint.: Show your current software maintenance state for the current entity. This is currently only applicable for test modules and is not relevant for test chassis.

  5. SW Days Left: Show the remaining days of your software maintenance for the current entity.

  6. HW Warr.: Show your current hardware warranty state for the current entity.

  7. HW Days Left: Show the remaining days of your hardware warranty for the current entity.

The complexity of this table reflects the fact that a new Xena software release can be launched when the software and hardware installed on your test equipment is still valid, but may have expired by the time you want to install it.
