Manage options software licenses: 90-Day Trial, load/unload, status
Accept a 90-Day Trial for a pre-selected function, or make a purchased option license available/unavailable from a 3.5-inch floppy disk (or key code) and check its status — the two ways the Aquilion 16 unlocks and tracks optional scan-console and display-console functions.
Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — system software volume 2D260-074E*B, source p.60-63, covering section 4.4 "Options Software Licenses" (4.4.1 the 90-Day Trial; 4.4.2 floppy-disk/key-code option licenses — media check, load, unload, and status list) and section 4.5 "Operational Checks" (a pointer to the relevant installation manual, not detailed in this section). Distinct from the options **hardware** license (USB dongle, §4.1-4.2) and the Essence-of-3D A license file edit (§4.3) — see Related.
Personnel
Basic — menu navigation ([Utility] > [Engineering] > password), reading an on-screen UNIQUE ID/status field, and swapping a 3.5-inch floppy disk in the console's drive. No board-level work, meters, or torque values appear in this section. (Skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level.)
