FAQ – Licensing

How do I convert my trial to a purchased product?

If you have any XJTAG system for evaluation, you can continue using the product without interruption by purchasing it. Simply contact your XJTAG distributor to make a purchase to have your hardware licence extended, and you can continue using XJTAG without reinstalling the software.

Once you have received your new licence code, use the Authorisation Codes utility to enter it into your XJLink.

How do I choose between hardware or network license?

XJTAG software licences can be held in the JTAG controller hardware that is used to connect to the board that is being tested, or on a network licence server.

Hardware Licensing

Holding the licence in a small JTAG controller unit such as the USB XJLink2 offers significant portability. XJTAG software can be installed on any number of PCs and used whenever the JTAG controller is connected.

Network Licensing

Portability can be extended still further using network licensing, if you need to have several hardware units but don’t need to use the software all the time on all of them. For example, if you have multiple production line setups, use the tools across multiple offices, or share development software for debugging occasional issues. Anyone who needs an XJTAG licence – from the design engineer to the repair technician – can check it out from the server and run the software they need.

If you are developing tests without your target hardware you can use a network licence to set-up your tests without having an JTAG controller connected. Then to run the tests connect an unlicenced JTAG controller and the network licence can be used to execute them. Once you close the software and stop using the licence it is released back to the server and can be used elsewhere in your organisation.

Keeping licences on the network server means that they are no longer tied to a particular location. The test capability offered by XJTAG can be accessed by any user in your organisation (given that there is one JTAG controller connected for board interaction).

Does it cost extra to upgrade to add another product later on?

No. Upgrading is simple and our costs are transparent with no penalty for adding functionality at a later date.

I have an earlier trial version. Can I convert it to the latest version?

If XJTAG has released new versions of its products since your trial and you are now ready to purchase, you will have access to download the latest version of the software.
