N5435A Infiniium Server-Based
License for Infiniium Oscilloscopes
Data Sheet
Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N5435A Infiniium server-based license allows you to
move your oscilloscope application license from one Infiniium oscilloscope to another,
using a license server. Just check out the license from the server when you need it, and
return it when you are finished with it. You can check out the license in increments of
days. If you forget to return the licenses, the oscilloscope will automatically return them
for you when the allotted time expires.
License files for the N5435A Infiniium server-based license are supported across
Infiniium Series oscilloscope platforms, as well as the N8900A Infiniium Offline
oscilloscope analysis software, so you can protect your application software investment.

Infiniium application server license: How it works
The N5435A Infiniium server-based license is ideal for companies with multiple Infiniium
oscilloscopes. You can share license files across oscilloscopes, anywhere in the world.
Figure 1. License server configuration example
To borrow licenses, the oscilloscope needs to be connected to a LAN to access the
license server. Once you obtain the necessary licenses, you do not need to remain
connected to the LAN. Just reconnect when you decide to return your borrowed licenses
to the license server. If you forget to return the license within your borrowing period (in
units of days), that is not a problem. Both the license server and the Infiniium
oscilloscope have their own time counters tracking the valid period for the license. Once
a particular license expires, the license server automatically returns the credit to that
specific license file. At the same time, the Infiniium oscilloscope automatically
loses the license.
Figures 2 to 5 show you the complete flow of borrowing and returning application
software on an Infiniium oscilloscope that is connected to the LAN.

Infiniium application server license: How it works (continued)
If you already have some node-locked licenses installed on your Infiniium oscilloscope,
that is not a problem. The N5435A Infiniium application server license automatically
populates the list with available server-based licenses that your oscilloscope doesn't
have.

finish the process.

Which license type is best for you?
There are several different types of Infiniium oscilloscope application software licenses
available from Keysight. Choose the type that works best for your situation:
Server-based licenses are generally recommended for companies that want to share
licenses across multiple Infiniium oscilloscopes and/or the N8900A Infiniium Offline
application.
Node-locked licenses are recommended for teams that want to ensure specific
oscilloscopes retain specific licenses indefinitely.
