Installing from an eLicense CD/DVD

All of the eLicense option keys can also be saved onto one CD/DVD. This is the preferred method for installing option keys. Once you create the CD/DVD, the options can be loaded onto the system.

Once the option key file is downloaded from the eLicense site to the hard drive of a computer, it can be burned onto a CD/DVD. The MR system requires that the disc be ISO-compliant. This format type cannot be burned with Windows built-in disc burning. To burn an ISO-compliant disc, you must use a program such as Sonic RecordNow or Nero Burning ROM, which burns ISO-compliant discs by default.

Procedure

  1. Start the disc burning software.
    Visit the GE MyTech webpage to obtain a licensed copy of a disc burning software application or call the GE Healthcare help desk.
  2. Create a new project or session and select the data disc option (or equivalent).
  3. Add the license.sh file to the disc project or session.
  4. Put a blank CD/DVD in the computer's CD/DVD drive and initiate the burning session.
  5. After the disc burn has completed successfully, insert the CD/DVD into the host computer CD/DVD drive.
  6. Select the Service Tools Desktop.
  7. From the Service Desktop Manager, select Guided Install and select Start… to open Guided Install.
  8. When a command window displays the message Type Root Password, type the system's root password: operator (default), and press Enter.
    note: It is possible that the customer changed the default password. If you cannot log in, contact the customer for the correct password.
  9. Once the Guided Install window opens, select the Option Key tab.
  10. Select the eLicense CD checkbox on the Install Option Key section of the window, and then click Install.

  11. When the keys are finished loading, a pop-up dialogue displays the list of the installed options.
  12. Verify the option list in the Guided Install window is updated with the options just loaded.
  13. Select File > Quit to exit the Guided Install tool.
  14. Reboot the computer and verify that all options are available.
  15. Complete a SaveInfo to retain all newly installed options on an Info MOD.
