Network Licensing

Network licensing is an alternative to Hardware licensing. It allows access to your XJTAG software from anywhere on your network, meaning that the tools can be used wherever and whenever you need them, helping improve productivity and efficiency.

• Improve productivity and efficiency by having access to XJTAG when and where it is required
• Minimise expenses by removing the need for fully licensed systems for every production line and design engineer

Network licensing is an easy and cost-efficient way to manage your company’s XJTAG licences on a local and global scale. It allows your business to maximise the usability of your XJTAG products, making them available anywhere in the world, without the restriction of having to move units between locations.

If you have multiple production lines or development groups for different products, you don’t need to have licences for each of them. You can simply buy enough seats to cover the maximum required at any one time and transfer the test capability as required.

Maximise the usage of XJTAG in your organisation by being able to easily share the software between different teams. Whether in a neighbouring room, a nearby site or another country, the same tools can be shared between development and production.

XJTAG software licences can be held on a network licence server or in the JTAG controller that is used to connect to the board that is being tested. While there is significant portability offered by holding the licence in a small JTAG controller unit such as the USB XJLink2, it is extended still further using network licensing. 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 working without your target hardware you can use a network licence to set up your tests without having a JTAG controller connected. When you’re ready to run the tests, you can connect any one of XJTAG’s JTAG controllers and use it with the network licence. When 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*.
