Legacy LabShop licenses embedded in BK Connect

BK Connect includes the PULSE LabShop licenses you need, to ensure that you have access to your measurement and post-processing capabilities during our transition to BK Connect

The purpose of the BK Connect platform is to reduce task complexity for specialists, engineers and operators and reduce the overall cost for your company – all without reducing your testing capability.

Make the transition to BK Connect at your own pace

To ensure that your testing capabilities are maintained during our transition to the BK Connect platform, a Core PULSE LabShop Type 7700, 7770 or 7771 license has been embedded in your BK Connect Data Processing license. Additional individual PULSE LabShop applications and calculation licenses that are required for tasks not currently natively available in BK Connect have been embedded within the relevant BK Connect licenses. This allows you to access the LabShop functionality with your BK Connect license.

For LabShop users there will therefore be no immediate impact on the daily work as you can continue to use your PULSE LabShop templates and data.

The same license policy holds for new customers meaning you also have access to the legacy LabShop platform.

Please contact us to find out more.

Managing PULSE licenses - Questions and answers

To answer some of our most frequent questions about acquiring and managing PULSE Licenses, we've have created a short video and a list of questions and answers. For those looking to download, upgrade or renew their PULSE licenses, please log in and visit our license and delivery portal.

To get started with the license and delivery portal, please watch our short video tutorials:

Frequently Asked Questions About Pulse Licenses:

Upgrading Licenses:

Upgrading an existing software license is only necessary when you upgrade from a previous PULSE version to a new major version (for example, from version 20.X to version 21.X).

We recommend you select and save ALL licenses. Then you have licenses for all your applications on the current version of PULSE as well as for any previous version in case you need it.

In PULSE LabShop you can open the License Manager through the Tools menu. In PULSE Reflex you can open the License Manager in the "Settings & Help" section after clicking on the main menu button.

You can find the login on the license authorization card delivered with the order.

Please log in and select what you need to do: License & delivery portal. If you do not have a profile on the site, please create a profile.

Please follow this procedure:

If your PC is not connected to the Internet, connect to the Internet from any PC and login to License & delivery portal.
Save the license to a portable data storage device and transfer the file to the PC running PULSE
Open License Manager again and Browse for the saved license file.
PULSE License Manager automatically stores the license file in the correct License folder.

An alternative is to e-mail the file and save it from there.

In PULSE License Manager, select Show, Available Licenses. If it shows “never” under expire, then you have permanent license. You can also use a text editor to open the license file and read whether it is permanent.

Use the Browse function in License Manager to drag the old license file to the Archive folder.

LICENSES FOR NEW SOFTWARE:

The software package sent to you by Brüel & Kjær contains a USB stick with the PULSE software and a USB dongle. The USB stick contains your software license, which has been node-locked to the USB dongle by Brüel & Kjær prior to shipment. To be able to use PULSE you need to install the license on your PC and attach the USB dongle.

Insert the USB key
Insert the dongle (This is only necessary if the license is node‐locked to the dongle).
Select the setup executable (From the BZ‐5217 drive, select Setup.exe)
Select the software to install
Read the summary then install software
Follow the installation wizard (Reboot your PC when prompted).
Close the installer
Remember to safely remove the USB before ejecting.

When you have purchased Brüel & Kjær software, your electronic license must be activated before you can use the software. Activation means that the licenses must be locked to the server hardware. Log in to the License & delivery portal to activate licenses. For installation of licenses, please see the License Fulfilment Guide (BE 1693).

MOVING LICENSES AND LOST LICENSES:

The parallel-port dongle is not supported for PULSE 12 and later versions. Please contact your local Brüel & Kjær representative to arrange for re-hosting from the parallel-port dongle to the USB dongle.

If you want to use PULSE on multiple PCs, you must install the license on all PCs. Remember to attach the USB dongle. You can install the software on any number of PCs, but only run it on one PC at a time.

The same PC must have both license files and both USB dongles attached.

If your license is node-locked to a USB dongle, it is not affected when you upgrade or replace any part of the PC.

The other PC needs the license file: Copy the license file from the USB stick to the other PC. You can also choose to login to the License & delivery portal and download the license file (like for upgrading license). Continue to use the same USB dongle on the other PC.

Please contact your local Brüel & Kjær representative to arrange re-hosting of the license. If you have a PULSE Software Maintenance and Support Agreement this is free of charge.

Please log in log in to the License & delivery portal from where you can download your license file and PULSE installation software.

Please contact your local Brüel & Kjær representative. You will be asked to fill out a declaration to get a new USB dongle including re-hosting of licenses to the new dongle. If you have a PULSE Software Maintenance and Support Agreement this is free of charge.

Yes, you can borrow a floating license from the server to work off-line.

B&K LICENSES IN GENERAL:

The License Authorisation Card is included with the delivery of your new PULSE software. It contains the login to the "License & delivery portal", which you need for upgrade.

A Host ID (for example, BKID=4C8346B25) is a unique identifier that cannot be replicated. It is used to lock licenses to protect against unauthorised use. See previous explanation on how to find the Host ID.

You can install the PULSE software without a license. Before you can start using the installed software you must tie the license to a Host ID. This is to ACTIVATE the license.

Go to License Manager in PULSE LabShop. Click “Available Licenses” and a list will be displayed.

If you have licenses that are node-locked to different dongles, you can connect more than one dongle to you PC to stack the licenses. For example, two dongles each with a two-channel license will, when both are connected, let you measure four channels. Similarly with modules, two dongles with one-module licenses will let you measure with two modules. With enough stacked licenses you will be able to use an unlimited number of modules or channels.
