I received my DS2072A yesterday, and of course first thing, had to try generating a key for it. But for some reason, it's not working. Trying to use NS8H for 300 MHz + all options. And yes, I have read the entire thread. |O Because I don't have Windows at home, I used Arkku's method on Linux (post #3105). Everything appears fine until code entry, at which point the "unavailable" message appears momentarily on-screen. I first tried entering the code over SCPI (using telnet), then on the scope's front panel. No luck. All of the options are still "trial," and same thing after power cycling. Someone else had reported the same problem, but I didn't see negative reports for "following the PDF tutorial" i.e. running the tools on Windows and using a hex editor. So I went through that process today on a Windows 7 machine, and the proposed license key is exactly the same. (It is kind of comforting to verify that the two methods for putting together the binary data file---Ruby script and manual hex editing---do in fact match. The size is 146 bytes which matches the tutorial.) I noticed that a rigup version 0.4 appeared on the gotroot.ca mirror in the last couple of days (I was using version 0.1), so I tried that as well. All three workflows result in exactly the same key, the one which isn't working. Tonight when I get home I will try a few more things: 1) change the firmware back to the non-custom (non-IDN-dumping) version 2) send SCPI "uninstall" command 3) try the key again 4) if that doesn't work, generate a key with NSEQ (200 + options) and try it; some folks reported that it works when NS8H does not. So a huge thanks to all the folks that worked on this; I've been amazed at the level of effort, and am truely grateful. But, I am starting to wonder if there are some scopes out there for which the existing hack does not quite work? Unless someone can find a mistake in the above? The only "nonconforming" thing I've done AFAIK is to use telnet <scope IP> 5555 for entering my SCPI commands instead of installing the Rigol bloat-ware. Surely that can't make any difference? People are using the front panel to enter keys successfully too, aren't they? In case it matters, the key output: --- Code: ---RC5KEY1: 82158CF252D2F8EB573A09E3DB176F65 RC5KEY2: 29640D3EB586CF86D65AB36AF88E3BBB XXTEAKEY: B759083BEC0B3807D69980B5136E6D94 PUBKEY: 00163745B6A8327B PRIVKEY: 001B71CCF74A466E SERIAL: DS2D154700xxx --- End code --- |

One thing I noticed when generating a license key for the DSA815... I used rikey_dsa.c from your local friendy mirror and compiled as per the provided instructions. Then installed license with :SYSTem:LKEY <lic_key> using alex.forencich's python-vxi11 from a quick script. No need for visa bloatware or windoze. :-+ Anyways, the thing to be aware of: the keys that rikey_dsa spits out have minus characters '-' in it. You have to remove those for that :SYSTem:LKEY <lic_key> scpi command. I don't have my 1074Z yet (hopefully monday! @_@), so cannot comment on that. But just in case some of you run into something as silly as minus characters messing up the key installation. |

Just a quick update. My DS1074Z arrived midday, entered the key and now have a nice 1104 with everything other than the 500uV range. I am a very happy bunny :-+ I read in the thread that you couldn't enter during the trial period but in my case this wasn't so, it went in without a problem. Thanks everyone for the info in this lengthy thread. |

Hello Guys, I'm new to the forum Just bought My Rigol DS2072A 70MHz Scope about 3 days ago Recently Discovered that i can upgrade My Scope to 200MHz, Possibly even 300MHz. I have read the entire threads Post's (Wow, to say the least), I've noticed that a lot of info is everywhere. i would love to thank Cybernet for all his Hard Work i would Like to thank Dave from EEV Blog and everyone else that contributed to the reverse engineering of this. Now. FOR EVERYONE IN MY POSITION WHO OWNS A RIGOL DS2037A I'll Sum it up for you 1. I don't have an Actual Solution Just yet 2. this is what you need to do step by step 1. Buy the Scope 2. Ensure you have the latest Firmware Installed 3. Obtain Your Scopes Firmware Details by doing the following (And Post it to the forum if you need to ask a question in your scope Press the "UTILITY" Button that is located at the top of the scope Now.. Select the "SYSTEM" option by pressing the button to the right of the word "SYSTEM" Now. Select "SYSTEM INFO" but pressing the button to the right of the option. My Sceen output is as follows ================================================== Manufacturer : RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES Model : DS2072A Serial : DS2D1XXXXXXXX (this is your serial number, You'll need it Later) Software Version : 00.02.01 Hardware Version : 2.0 (THIS NEXT PART WONT SHOW UP BUY DEFAULT), if you want to see it there is a way to do it, but i forgot how) FPGA Version: SPU 03.01.09 WPU 00.07.01 CCU 12.29.00 MCU 00.005 ============================================================ Now that you have your System information handy... You'll need to know how to input the Unlock key, when the time comes. Here is how you get to the menu to input the unlock key.. in your scope Press the "UTILITY" Button that is located at the top of the scope Now.. Select the "OPTIONS" option by pressing the button to the right of the word "OPTIONS" (if you can't see "OPTIONS" find the very bottom blue arrow buttons and scroll down to get the option "OPTIONS") at this stage you have the option to select "INSTALLED" (if you do, this will show you What options are Trial version and how much time is remaining on them. this is the section that you want to come back to you , later, to confirm that the upgrade worked FOR NOW Select "SETUP" NOW.. on this screen the top option will be called "EDITOR" if Editor is OFF (Switch it on, by Pressing the button to the right of EDITOR) NOTE: if at any point the Menu Bar dissappears, You can make it re appear by Pressing the BLUE "MENU" Button at the top of all the other buttons on the right side of the screen and just a quickie (if the menu thing gets annoying, you can set the time at which the menu will dissapear by selecting.. "DISPLAY" Button at the top "MENU DISPLAY" Select the Amount of "S" (Seconds you wish) or "Infinite" NOW, back to the point Under Utility/Options/Setup Use the "Intensity" Knob, that is located at the very top of the Scope, next to the Blue "MENU" button turn it to select your character that you need to input Push the knob in until you get a click, this will select your character THIS IS THE AREA WHERE YOU INSERT YOUR UNLOCK KEY Now.. Your first need to get the unlock key You will need to do this first 1. Plug your scope into Windows (I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate) 2. Go to Device Manager, You will notice that Windows will require a Driver for your Scope (Emona did not bother to supply a disk, instead they said to download it from rigol's site, Which honestly , is a frickin headache) You really need to download Just 2 Things 1. Rigol's Ultra Sigma Software (it's a big download, about 500 MB or so) here's the link for the Rigol 2072A http://www.rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/ds2000a/ds2072a/ You will need to scroll down the page to the part that says " Software Applications" you will see a bunch of PDF's that dont look to be of much relevance (BUT THEY ARE) 2. go to the PDF that Says "Ultra Sigma" and open it You will come to a stupid looking page that looks like you hit a speed hump you will see this ===================================================== Download Thank You For your request Please click the link below to open/download your chosen resource. If you see an Error below please hit Refresh. THEN IN BIG LETTERS under that you will see ULTRA SIGMA (you need to click on the Word "ULTRA SIGMA" Apparently someone at Emona thought this was "Obviously" a Hyperlink LOL if your download does not start, You need to register for a free account (it's pretty quick and easy) after you do that, come back to the download page and repeat the process Now.. make a cup of coffee and pray to god that if you download the file , that it actually isn't corrupted i had to try 5 Times, Downloading (yes i have a stable and fast internet connection) When i went to extract the file the last 2 Archives appeared to be corrupted and i had to re download the whole bloody thing it will happen eventually, Since the File is a .zip file, you will need Winzip to Extract it My advise is.. Make a New folder, Place the file in that folder and extract it, to that folder This software now needs to be installed upon download it will be called Ultra Sigma(PC)Installer_00.01.05.10 when you open it, there will be an application file called "Setup" Obviously, Run this file as Administrator and install, as you would any other application. it takes a while at about 15 % or so, you will notice that it will install the Driver package (so you don't have to do that seperately) Once it's all installed You will have 2 New Icons on your desktop Ni Max and Ultra Sigma if you open Ultra Sigma Select USB-TMC and double click on your Scope's Name this will bring up a "SCPI" Command (now, i'm not sure what to enter here, but.. i do know this part is relevant to the solution) NOW, THIS IS WHERE I'M UP TO You need 3 Things to get your Scope Unlocked 1. You serial Number, as stated above (or.. it's on the sticker on the bottom of your scope) 2. You need to know the OPTIONS Key that you need to use Here they are (Choose what you wish to unlock) DS2000 device options: first character: D = official, V = trial DSAB - Advanced Triggers DSAC - I2C, SPI and RS232 Decoders DSEA - CAN Decoder DSAE - 56M Memory DSAJ - 100MHz DSAS - 200MHz DSCA - 300MHz DSHH - all options You will Most likely want all the options and the highest Bandwidth, therefore you will want to use "DSHH" (Remember this) 3. now, you need to the "PRIVATE KEY" go to this site http://riglol.3owl.com/ First Enter the OPTION Then Your "Serial Number" Then you need to enter the Private Key (Now. here's the catch) According to the forum this is the private key 8EEBD4D04C3771 (for this model of Scope) and the idea is .... Enter the OPTION ENTER your serieal Number Enter the private key then click GENERATE a new window will open and it will display a Key (this is the Unlock key you need to enter into your Scope AS DESCRIBED ABOVE and the result should be, you will find that your Trial Options Are not longer trials but fully licensed and you Bandwidth will either go up to 200 Mhz or 300 MHz (i think it's 300 MHz) the thing about the private key is ... (it's private) LOL so, thanks to CYBERNET (READ THIS, IT'S HELPFUL) http://svn.clifford.at/handicraft/2013/rigol-ds2000-shell/rigol-4in1-keygen.c and this http://hackaday.com/2013/07/24/a-keygen-for-the-rigol-2000-series-scopes/ he has issued us this .txt doc Rigolkey.c Now. apparently this .txt doc is supposed to be compiled in some way and then loaded onto a USB stick and then inserted into the scope upon bootup Your supposed to Hold down the HELP button and the press the POWER button then quickly press the Help button twice and that's supposed to load the firmware from the Stick to unlock your Scope the other thing is .. You can apparently just enter the number NOW.. HERE'S MY PROBLEM AND IF ANYONE CAN HELP, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT Please Note : I have a Rigol DS2072A Not DS2072 I'm using this http://riglol.3owl.com/ in combination with my Serial Number and i've tried the following Options DSA9 DSHH I've tried the following private keys 8EEBD4D04C3771 there was one other but.. neither one worked I keep getting the following message "License is unavailable" Thus.. it didn't work Please advise, what am i doing wrong What have i overlooked Thanks ahead of time Sorry for the length Post I just thought i would help all the Newbies to the scope out there and help them overcome the issues i had. Hope to hear from you guys soon I would appreciate input from CYBERNET (he seems to be "The Man" at this point. Be Cool Guys, All Help is greatly appreciated. |

you're mixing up procedures for the A and non-A versions.. the combinations you are listing (DS**) are for the non-A only and for use with the riglol site.. for the A model you need to flash a custom firmware to get access to a blob of data that is needed for input to the rigup program in order for it to generate the licenses... try reading the thread again... or at least the last handful of pages.. |
