Q

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

A

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

To perform a live capture with Wireshark, no specific license is required. Data can be captured from any network type such as standard Ethernet, PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, etc.

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

To perform a graphic process data analysis and to be able to trigger on that process data the licenses
  • 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.
