Overview

This Service procedure explains how to install the SSA license file which allows user to access additional service tools.

Obtain the System ID and the System 16 digit code from the Common Service Desktop (CSD) home page. Obtain the Order Number (GON) for this system.

Confirm the 16 digit code. Ensure there is no confusion over letters and numbers such as zero and letter "O" or a number one and lower case "L" for example. Copying the code from the CSD home page to a Unix shell can help identify the characters since the font difference of a Unix shell will show the differences.

note: The Customer Order must have the license catalog attached for the SSA website to allow creation of the license file. Contact your local sales person if you have issues with the order number.
Access the http://ssa.gehealthcare.com/ website.
Acquire the required License file(s) for the system. Note the filename for the license file(s) supplied. The available catalog numbers are shown below for reference for this product.
Copy the license file data (*.dat format), which was generated by SSA web site, to the root directory of Class M SSA key or USB memory.
Insert the USB device to the Host Computer
Select “Import License” button from the Tool Chest menu. You can see a pop-up message that indicates completion of importing license.
