netANALYZER has a quite complex license portfolio, which licences are required for which use-case?

License model

• netANALYZER licenses enable various software features.
• The licenses are always stored on a single netANALYZER device.
• The netANALYZER works as a license dongle when it is attached to a PC running the netANALYZER Scope software.
  Means, when the analyzer is connected to a PC, the software running on that PC would automatically enable the licensed feature.
  When the analyzer is removed from the PC, the software will automatically fall back in the unlicensed mode.
• Licenses cannot be moved between different netANALYZER device.

Use-case: Raw data capture with Wireshark

Use-case: Raw data capture with USB pen drive

To perform a live capture to dump raw frame data to an USB pen drive, the license LIC/NANL/SA is required.

Data can be captured from any network type such as standard Ethernet, PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, etc.

Data from the USB pen drive can be opened offline on any PC without a license.

Use-case process data analysis

• LIC/SCPBS and LIC/SCP/PN are required for capture from PROFINET networks
• LIC/SCPBS and LIC/SCP/ECAT are required for capture from EtherCAT networks
• LIC/SCPBS and LIC/SCP/EIP are required for capture from EtherNet/IP networks

In case an analyzer should be used for capturing from multiple network types, an analyzer can be equipped with multiple feature licenses,

in such a case only one base license is required per device, multiple feature licenses are required.

For example following combinations are commonly used:

• LIC/SCPBS + LIC/SCP/PN + LIC/SCP/ECAT to be able to use netANALYZER Scope with PROFINET and EtherCAT networks
• LIC/SCPBS + LIC/SCP/PN + LIC/SCP/EIP to be able to use netANALYZER Scope with PROFINET and EtherNet/IP networks
• LIC/SCPBS + LIC/SCP/PN + LIC/SCP/ECAT + LIC/SCP/EIP to be able to use netANALYZER Scope with PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP networks
• etc.

Use-case network quicktester

In order to use the quicktester function, it is required to equip the analyzer with

• LIC/SCPBS and LIC/SCP/QTPN for PROFINET networks
• the quicktester is currently available for PROFINET only, thus no feature licenses for EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP exist

It is also possible to combine quicktester and process data licenses on a single device.

Use-case read in third-party capture files

Only the capture process is licensed
