ProcedureSoftware / Options & LicensingInstallationInstall
Install the Essence-of-3D A license (pr.base / pr.3d) and verify
Reach the Console via Utility > Engineering, open a winterm terminal, and hand-enter the two Elan-License-Manager-Key files (pr.base, pr.3d) from your site's facsimile sheet to activate the purchased "Essence-of-3D A" option — then confirm the install with the three pass/fail checks in Operational Checks — per section 4.3 of the Software volume.
Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — system software volume 2D260-074E, source p.57-59, covering source section 4.3 "License Setting (setting of 'Essence-of-3D A')" — its two subsections, 4.3.1 "Setting of 'Essence-of-3D A'" (p.57-58) and 4.3.2 "Operational Checks" (p.58-59). This atom does not cover the options hardware license check that precedes it (section 4.2, p.55-56 — not reproduced in this atom's source; see Related, toshiba-ct-aquilion16-software-option-hardware-license) nor the general options software license management — 90-Day Trial, Load/Unload/List — that follows it (sections 4.4-4.5, p.60-63; see Related, toshiba-ct-aquilion16-software-option-software-license).
Personnel
Software/installation skill: navigate Utility > Engineering > password to reach the Console screen, start a winterm terminal, change into the system's license directory, and use the vi text editor to enter two exact-format license-key files (pr.base, pr.3d) transcribed from a site-specific facsimile sheet supplied with the purchased "Essence-of-3D A" option — then confirm the install with the startup/2D/MPR checks in Operational Checks. Comfort with a Unix-style command line and vi is assumed; no board-level work or physical tooling is involved. (Skill assessment derived from the procedure's content — not an OEM-stated skill level.)
