This document describes how to install option license upgrades on your 4/5/6 Series MSO oscilloscope that are purchased after receiving your instrument. NOTE. These instructions do not pertain to options that were purchased and pre-installed on your instrument when ordered.

These instructions only support options that are enabled by installing a software license. Some product upgrades, such as the 5/6 Series MSO SSD (Embedded OS or Microsoft Windows 10) upgrades and 5 Series MSO bandwidth upgrades to 2 GHz, are not supported by this document. These upgrades either have their own installation instructions, or require that you send the instrument to a Tektronix support center for new hardware and calibration.
Install option upgrade licenses
You need the license file from the Tektronix Asset Management System (AMS) that is provided with each purchased option upgrade.
A single license is valid only for the specific model number and serial number of the instrument for which it was purchased; it will not work on any other instrument. The single license file does not affect options that were factory installed or any other upgrades that you may have already purchased and installed.A floating license enables you to install an upgrade options on any equivalent instrument, but only one instrument at a time can use the license. You must uninstall a floating license from one instrument, and log it back into the Tektronix AMS, before checking it out for use on another instrument. Access the Tektronix AMS at www.tek.com/products/product-license.
