2. PRODUCT AND RELEASE INFORMATION

2.1. Important Information, Warnings, Limitations

 Do not try activating licenses for both iTM and CPS on the same machine. Any attempt of activating
iTM and CPS licenses for the same Host ID will result in rejecting the license in iTM System
altogether.
 When activating your CPS installation please take note of the Host ID number displayed on the
activation screen. Store that number in a safe place so you can access it in a case of PC failure. In

 CPS 8.0 Release Note

such cases CPS license can be transferred to another machine only if the Host ID of the original PC
is provided.

 The recommended maximum number of portable radios which can be programmed simultaneously is
16 units.
 The recommended maximum number of mobile radios which can be programmed simultaneously is
4 units.
 After installation of CPS a reboot is required to reflect the driver updates for CPS.
 Radio downgrade will only keep the tuning data and reset all other codeplug fields back to default.
This functionality may be used ONLY on new radios from the factory. To roll back a radio to a
previous version use “Tools->Restore Radio” instead of the downgrade.

2.2 CPSPlus 8.0 Installation, Activation and Upgrade

CPS installation SW is available for download from MyView portal (see links on the title page). It can
also be ordered on a DVD.

After the CPS installation, an activation of the software is required in order to get the fully operational
application.
CPS can also run without the activation and then it can be used as a license interface terminal. That allows
receiving the license files for CPS and iTM running offline.
Existing CPS users on previous 7.x releases can upgrade their application without the need to order a new
license.
Customers on pre-7.0 releases must purchase a new license for CPS 7.x.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
When activating your CPS installation please take note of the Host ID. Store that number in a safe place so
you can access it in a case of PC failure. In such cases CPS license can be transferred to another machine
only if the Host ID of the original PC is provided.
For details on how to request license transfer, go to Annex B.

Post activation screen

2.3 Sales Model

Every single installation of the CPS needs to be activated. This is to increase the security and to stop
unauthorized users from being able to program radio terminals that can potentially compromise the security
of radio networks.

There are different ways to order and receive CPS. These all revolve around a unique Entitlement ID (EID)
that is sent via email once an order is placed for CPS license. Only one EID will be sent per email.

The new part number for a CPS license is as below

Part Number Description

HKVN4740A CPS System License

All licenses added to a single order line will be delivered on a single Entitlement ID (EID). If separate EIDs
are required, then the part numbers must be placed on separate order lines but can be processed on a
single order.

The different ways to order and receive CPS are:

1. Order all CPS licenses on the same Entitlement ID (useful if all the licenses are going to the same
organization) – add required quantity for order line with HKVN4740A

2. Order CPS licenses over a number of Entitlement IDs (useful if the licenses are going to different
organizations) – place each CPS license HKVN4740A on a separate order line.

Each Entitlement ID is delivered in a separate email.

Copies of the CPS SW DVD are orderable under below part number
