  • Download request... - The Capability file is retrieved from the LLS and can be sent to the ACLP for updating.

  • Upload features... - The Capability file file received from ACLP is loaded into the LLS.

  • License Distributions... - For exporting, importing, restoring and resetting License Distributions.
    For further information, see separate section in the User Guide.

The Capability file is a binary file that contains the license items. The file is created in the Atlas Copco Licensing Portal (ACLP) and downloaded to the customer. When decoded in the distribution server, a pool of features is created that can be distributed to the controllers in two ways:

  • A networked distribution system using the Functionality Management System server which is controlled through the ToolsTalk 2 user interface.

  • A manual distribution system using a secure USB flash drive that is inserted into each controller and managed through the controller user interface. It is described in detail in the controller documentation.
