yes, but with rigol I get logic probes with oscilloscope and all can be unlocked.
With siglent I need to pay about half of price of oscilloscope.
That is because Siglent has been lowering the prices of their oscilloscopes to get some sales but it seems the price of the options went up. A couple of years ago the oscilloscopes where much more expensive.
Hi all,
It seems that I am the only one stuck with a DS2072A unable to get to 300MHZ...
Bought it August 24, 2017, Serial DS2D184850XXX soft 03.05.SP3
It accepts all the license but not the 300MHZ. I used the Ultra Sigma way, The RigolBildschirmkopie,
Both methods through rigup0-4 and I obtain the same licenses code.
Any more Idea guy's?
It sounds like you might be trying to install multiple licenses at the same time (or really one after another). If so, this is not the correct way to do it. I would recommend uninstalling the options with :SYSTem:OPTion:UNINSTall, then install a single key that includes both the 300MHz bandwidth and all options together. I think its the 'DSHH' one, though could be wrong on that. But to be clear, on the DS2000A scopes (as well as all Rigol scopes that I'm aware of), you only enter a single license key (that enables all options). And it doesn't matter if you send the license key over Ultra Sigma or RigolBildschirmkopie, both are doing the same exact thing.
Edit2: Interesting, I just checked the documentation from when I liberated my DS2000A and the code I used was 'NS8H', which was labelled 'All options, bandwidth 300MHz'. This was with rigup-0.4. Maybe try that if the other doesn't work.
Just realized I told you the same thing in the other thread last week. So assuming you have already been through the steps I listed in the last post with the DSHH option. Looks like I might have been wrong, please try removing all options then using the NS8H key and see if that gives you the desired results. Sorry for the confusion.
I tried to unlock but mine says license unavailable. I used the http://gotroot.ca/rigol/riglol/ generator.
Frustrated.

@
jeanguypataterub,
GenieTry 'NS8N' as the key. Read
here for my experience and details on this.
Just tried it again with NS8N and still got license is unavailable.

Many thanks for the hack! I have done from upgrade my recent DS2072A to 300M with All Options!
I can only upgrade to 200M and can't upgrade to 300M before that until I do the steps below.
Purchased at December 2017
Model : DS2072A
Software Version : 00.03.05.SP3
Hardware Version : 2.3
1. Use rigup1.0 : >rigup ds2072a mem.bin
2. Write down NSEQ (200M All Options) Key
3. Enter it to scope and restart
4. Use rigup4.0 :
>rigup scan mem.bin > keys.txt
>rigup license keys.txt NS8N
5. Enter it to scope and restart
6. Done
Have a nice day!
Did you ever get it working?
Hi, i am not sure if this is too late or not, but i met the same problem and eventually solved it .
the point is the newest rigup version did not work on me, so i tried several older versions of rigup, finally a x86 version of rigup 0.4 saved me(and I am using an win64 os).
wish this may help
Hello, tell me on the firmware RIGOL DS2072A. Answer the mail skorobogatov1995@mail.ru, or throw off the program
Many thanks, I was able to upgrade my DS2072A to 300 MHz with all options by this method!
Just to summarize, here's what I did:
You just need a Linux computer (I used a Raspberry Pi :-), netcat (nc) and rigup-0.4 (which comes with sources and can be compiled on Raspberry Pi by running "make").
1. Connect to the scope via LAN and dump memory into file "ds2072a.bin":
echo ':SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432' | nc -w1 <Scope IP Address> 5555 | dd bs=1 of=ds2072a.bin
2. Then use rigup-0.4 to obtain NSEQ license (NSEQ = all options, bandwidth 200 MHz)
rigup ds2072a ds2072a.bin
3. Apply the NSEQ key on the scope:
echo ':SYST:OPT:INST <NSEQ license key without dashes>' | nc -w 1 <Scope IP Adress> 5555
4. Though rigup also generates an NS8H key for 300 MHz bandwith, I was unable to apply it. Obviously, the NS8N key is needed. To generate it, run:
rigup scan ds2072a.bin > keys.txt
rigup license keys.txt NS8N
5. Then apply this key:
echo ':SYST:OPT:INST <NS8N license key without dashes>' | nc -w 1 <Scope IP Adress> 5555
Scope details:
Model: DS2072A
Software Version: 00.03.05.SP4
Hardware Version: 2.0
Thanks again,
Christian
hello
I try with this method but unfornatly
this method not work for me
perhaps this is the firmware was too recent 00.03.05.SP4
Eric
I just got a used DS2072A, with firmware version 00.02.01 and HW version 2.0. It's in mint condition, and still even has 1564 minutes left in the options trials
I tried using RigolBildschirmkopie both via USB and ethernet, but I keep getting the "There was an error when sending the SCPI command." message.
I know communication with the scope works, because I can read the date and serial number. I start suspecting that the version of the firmware is too old to have that command implemented
I also tried using the Linux version echo ':SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432' | nc -w1 <Scope IP Address> 5555 | dd bs=1 of=ds2072a.bin, with the same problems (cna get date and serial, the memory read doesn't work)
What would be my best bet? Update the firmware to a newer version (if so, which one), or use the original method in this thread

1 - Download & unzip the latest "Rigol Bildschirmkopie LAN/USB" from
http://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-bildschirmkopie-lan/2 - Connect scope to LAN.
3 - Run the RigolBildschirmkopie.exe, click Device>Select>Search>Select.
4 - Do Device>SCPI-Command, then Send & receive ":SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432".
Wait a long time (~5 to 10 min) for it to complete.
Click Save, save it as "memoryDump.scpi" (save this file for future use!!)

I downloaded the latest (2020-01-25) from here
https://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-bildschirmkopie/index.htm (your link doesn't work anymore)
I connected thru LAN
I sent the *IDN? command, which works
I tried the :SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432, and after 20 seconds or so I get a "There was an error when sending the SCPI command.".
Every other SCPI command works. Including screenshots, so I'm not sure what's wrong with the specific SYST command to dump the memory
Do I need to wait after that error message?
Do I need to wait after that error message?
You did "send & receive"?

You did "send & receive"?
Yes, I did. Same as for all other commands I tried. As I also mentioned, the same problem when sending the same command via the Linux shell (from another PC). Other commands work, the system memory dump doesn't seem to work
I'm not sure what else I can do, outside of trying a different firmware (and a factory reset)
Replying to my own question for anyone else running into the same problem
I installed the DS2000A upgrade utility, and after flashing the temporary firmware (which I assume sends keys to the utility) everything now works.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ds2000a-upgrade-utility/ Thanks for the help
P.S. after updating the firmware to 03.05.04 I can now get a memory dump. It looks like it was not enabled in my original firmware
Hi, everyone.
First, sorry to dig the old thread. I just want to contribute my experience and say thank to all people contributed in this thread.
I just got my MSO2072A scope. It come with all options except bandwidth in trial mode. The scope has 00.03.04.SP2 firmware and hardware version is 2.2. I try to hack it using information shared in this thread and susceed. All options change to never expire, including 300 MHz bandwidth. The model in system information is alsochange to MSO2302A.
This is the procedure I did:
Requirement
1. The scope, connect via LAN
2. RigolBildschirmkopie
http://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-bildschirmkopie-lan/
https://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-bildschirmkopie/index.htm
3. rigup 0.4 http://www.gotroot.ca/rigol/
Procedure
1. Start RigolBildschirmkopie and find your scope (select button)
2. Dump scope memory using :SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432 (Device SCPI-Command)
3. Save data (tick "Save only informative data")
4. run rigup: rigup ds2072a mem.bin
where ds2072a is your scope model and mem.bin is your memory dump file name, this work for my MSO2072A
5. Note the option codes (rigup generate codes with dash)
6. Send SCPI-Command to install the option you want, romove all dashes
:SYSTem:OPTion:INSTall XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
7. Done. Check your option in UTILITY/OPTIONS/Installed
All credits go to those who contribute in this thread.
Thank you.
After having my scope for many years, I finally did the upgrade using the process above (edited with new site). It worked perfectly. Thank you everyone.
Can someone send me the "RigolBildschirmkopie" software or post a valid link?
The links in the thread above are no longer available.
Thank You!
