Unified Keygen script for SIGLENT

[housemartin]

Ok I just re-installed the latest firmware and now SCPI is working fine via the web page. Not sure what happened but almost certainly a case of PICNIC   

[nilsnine]

Thanks to all that contributed to the keygen python script. My new SDS804X HD is now convinced he's a SDS824x HD   

But one thing I have noticed which may have already been reported; Before I did the upgrades I updated the firmware to V1.1.3.8. I would not advise doing this. The SCPI web interface doesn't work and also when you come to activate the software options you will not see any options available in the drop down list in the scope UI. After puzzling over this I downgraded back to V1.1.3.6 and then SCPI works and the software options were visible. So I think, based on this, V1.1.3.8 firmware has some issues. I will wait until the next release until updating further.

Just a counterpoint Didn't see the above post before updating a SDS804X with firmware 1.1.3.8 myself.

It was completely straightforward. I connected the Siglent SDS804X HD to my switch, found the ip address and used Edge to access the scope 'homepage'. From here I updated the firmware from 1.1.3.6 to 1.1.3.8. Then I did the SCPI prompts to find the model/ID etc, plugged those into the script and got the 200M key, which I send (still using Edge). I rebooted the oscilloscope, and performed a calibration.

No issues. The scope reports as a SDS824X HD and seems to behave as such. Though to be honest, I don't really know how to tell the difference

I didn't bother with the 70->100->200 jump, because others has reported jumping directly works fine. I used Edge because I don't use that to browse, and it is therefor pristine without extensions (I have had issues using Firefox or Chrome on other network attached devices. But Edge usually works).

Thank you for the script!
Best regards, Nils

P.S. Regarding 1.1.3.8 and the changelog. I read it before installing. Didn't know what "Standard software functions of FG and LA." means, but assumed it probably meant function generator (FG) and logic analyzer (LA)?... I could be wrong...

FG and LA optional licenses are the standard coding for SAG1021I and SLA1016 HW support.
Both of these licenses have been removed in 1.1.3.8 firmware and are now standard features.

Hello,
did anyone succeed using the keygen for older SDS2204X (non-plus) scope? I have Ethernet hooked up, but it doesn't connect over Telnet (5024 and 5025 ports) as well as no web-interface. It responds to ping tho.

[5U4GB]

Edit2 - I find it very interesting that Siglent continues to use the same licensing / model encryption schema for their entry level gear...  The SDS800X-HD is obviously running newer OS code and you would have thought they would have secured this backdoor knowing so many people have taken advantage of it over the years.  Though I am very glad they have continued to do so ;-)

From talking to folks who produce another product that follows this model, their position is that it's not really cutting into sales and if people want to void their warranty that way it's none of their concern.  It keeps honest buyers honest and that's good enough.

I'm having some trouble using the upgrade script. It seems the new SDS804X HD firmware version 3.8.12.1.1.3.8 has blocked the ability to upgrade?

The PA option works, but then the upgrade box is greyed out.

Has anyone had any luck with the newer firmware builds?

Welcome to the site.

It already says license type permanent. What would you like it to do?

[GregP]

Thanks Josh,

Yeah the PA option works, but there isn’t a drop down box to select any bandwidth options. When I entered these previously it returned an error, but now the option has been removed after I entered the PA keygen.

[tautech]

There never has been.

You need to be more creative and do some more study.

[coromonadalix]

same here  never saw any dropdown,   only timed "count downs" ones until you unlock them ...

updated  bw  on many Siglent stuff,  yes the v1 licensing script or variants / unified ones

the only "touchy" one / one(s) in my case was the ssg3000x series, had to enter the upgrade bw key thru the front touch panel

So far any fw updates done, up to this day haven't blocked any bw mods  ...

[tautech]

Only certain products offer an official BW upgrade path……

[hp lee]

The PA option works, but then the upgrade box is greyed out.

The box is grayed out because all upgrade options are unlocked 

[GregP]

Thanks all, I thought that it was possible through the front screen, but as Dave says 'RTFM'.

If anyone hasn't figured it out for the SDS800X:

Official Upgrades (i.e PA)       =>  Can be done through the front screen
Unofficial (i.e BW upgrades)  =>   Only Through SCPI commands  (MCBD <key>)

[BarrettT123]

In the code it says that you can upgrade the SDG2042, I am currently tying to do the same thing, however I am having some trouble sending the commands/getting it to work. I put in the SN into the script, the numbers I got out look correct, but I can't get the SCPI command to send the key to the function gen to work. What SCPI command did you use when sending the key to the device? (I was using the code for "120M", and connected to the IP of the Function Gen using putty, with telnet, port 5024). Anyone know why this is not working?

[axantas]

Everyone still under the Christmas Tree...

It is simply MCBD XXXXXXXXXX - code without spaces.

Hello
I filled out your script and ran it under Pyton.
The codes were all displayed and I was able to activate all of them. Except for “REFL”.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to activate the “REFL” option.
I also tried the other scripts 1, 2, 3. Unfortunately, “REFL” didn’t work either.
Everything else worked.
Can you help me find the problem?

Did you enable the options individually or did you use "All"?
If you enable individually, you need to use the keys generated by CAT to get the Refl unlocked.

Greetings!

I've run the script for my SDS804X-HD and was able to successfully upgrade my bandwidth to 200MHz.  System info shows SDS824X-HD as expected.  I'm running firmware 1.1.3.6.  When I send the MCBD scpi command with the key for PWA it says it was sent successfully however under software options Power Analysis is still listed as temporary.  I've tried both the codes for PWA and PA and while both say they ran ok the option is still listed as temporary.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I upgraded to 1.1.3.8.  Re-issued the MCBD keys, still no luck.  The LA and AWG options are no longer there, as expected.  Power analysis is still temporary...

[tv84]

MCBD is for BW! Insert via menu.

[black6host]

Thank you so much!  For some reason that wasn't clear to me.  All is well now.  I must say I'm very pleased so far with my new acquisition!

Hello all...

As I've gone through the process of "enhancing the capabilities" of my various Siglent equipment by entering mysterious keys into them, I - like many others - had to stumble through literally hundreds of pages in years-long threads where the process has changed over the years.  There seem to be an unlimited number of keygen scripts out there - some work for some models, some work for others.

The basic key generation methodology only differs slightly between models.  I kept pretty meticulous notes as I went about the process and I now have a "unified" script that will generate keys for the following models:

• SDG2000X
• SDS1000X-E
• SDS2000X+
• SDS800X-HD *-should work
• SSA3000X_Plus
• SVA1000X

I know this script to work for generating keys for these models because I have used it to "enhance the capabilities" of the models shown above personally and I've determined precisely which information is required for each model, how to obtain that information, how to use the information to generate the keys, and how to enter the keys into the various models.  The instructions in the script are precisely how I went about things with success.  Of course, YMMV.  This script is provided without warranty, yada, yada, yada...  Use at your own risk.  My offer of some lines of Python3 code does not imply my offer of support for that code.  Of course, $$$ changes everything!

With that said, here is the script.  Enjoy, and don't ever say I never gave you anything!

Code: [Select]

#! /usr/bin/env python3
#
# If your computer does not have Python3 installed, you can copy/paste this
# script into [url]https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/online-compiler/[/url]
# and run it there.
#
#
# Notes: [url]https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds2000x-plus-hack/400/[/url]
#
#
# How to use this script:
# 
# (1) Connect your device to your local network via its Ethernet port.
# Obtain the IP address of the device.  You will need this to connect to
# the SCPI interface for the device.
#
# On the SSA3000X_Plus platform,you will find this under
# System->Interface->LAN
# (You may need to enable DHCP or manually configure the IP addresss.)
#
# On the SDG2000X platform, you will find this under
# Utility->Interface->LAN Setup
# (You may need to set LAN State to ON and enable DHCP or manually configure
# the IP address.)
#
#
# (2) Connect to the SCPI interface of the device.
#
# Using your favorite telnet client (putty for example if you are using
# windows) connect to port 5024 of the device.
#
# If using Putty, select "telnet" as the protocol and set the port to 5024.
# Set the IP address to the IP address of your device.
#
# If using Linux or Mac, simply connect using the following command:
# telnet x.x.x.x 5024 (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your device)
#
# Once connected to the SCPI interface, press ENTER several times.  You
# should now have a '>>' prompt, waiting for a SCPI command.  Note, SCPI
# commands do not include the quotes.  If instructed to send 'COMMAND',
# simply type COMMAND followed by the ENTER key. After each command, press
# the ENTER key until you see the '>>' prompt again.
#
# Note: While it is possible to send SCPI commands via the device web
# interface of some devices, I personally find telnet to port 5024 to be
# easier.  You may not.  Send the commands via whatever mechanism you choose.
#
#
# (3) You can skip this step for the SSA3000X_Plus platform.
#
# Query the current authorization code of the device and write it down with
# the 'MCBD?' SCPI command.  You will be comparing this code to the codes
# that the script generates for your device.  For example, if you purchased a
# SDG2042X, you will compare the code that the script returns for '40M' to the
# code that the device returned for the 'MCBD?' command.  They should match.
# If they don't match, you've done something wrong.
#
#
# (4) Get the Model by sending the 'MD5_PR?' command.  Model refers to the
# PLATFORM and not the exact model number.  For example, if you have a
# SDS1104X-E, you need to use SDS1000X-E.
# If your model is listed below, uncomment the appropriate line.  Otherwise,
# uncomment the blank Model line and enter the Model EXACTLY as returned by the
# device between the quotes.
#
#Model = 'SDG2000X'
#Model = 'SDS1000X-E'
Model = 'SDS2000X+'
#Model = 'SDS800X-HD'
#Model = 'SSA3000X_Plus'
#Model = 'SVA1000X'
#Model = ''
#
#
# (5) You can skip this step if you have selected 'SSA3000X_Plus' or
# 'SDG2000X' for Model in Step 4.
# If you have selected 'SDS1000X-E' or 'SDS800X-HD' for Model, set SN to
# the SN of your device. 
# This can be found by connecting your browser to the device. 
# Example: http://x.x.x.x where  x.x.x.x is the IP address of the device. 
# Enter the SN EXACTLY as shown by the device.
#
SN = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
#
#
# (6) Get the device ID.
# For the SDG2000X, SDS2000X+ or SDS800X-HD platforms, get the ID with the
# 'MD5_SRLN?' SCPI command.
#
# For the SSA3000X_Plus platform, get the ID with the 'SCOPEID?' SCPI
# command.
#
# Note: Enter the ID/SN without '-' between groups.
#
ID = ''
#
#
# (7) You can skip this step if you have set Model to 'SDS1000X-E',
# 'SDS2000X+', 'SDS800X-HD', 'SSA3000X_Plus', 'SVA1000X' or 'SDG2000X'
# above.
# If you have a model other than what is listed above,  you can manually
# set the keygen version for the script to use.  If one version  doesn't
# work for you, try the other.  Valid options  are '1', '2' or '3'. 
# Simply uncomment the following line and put the  version you want to use
# between the quotes.
#
#Keygen = ''
#
#
# (8) Run the script.  It will return a long list of codes.
#
#
# (9) Enter the codes.
#
# For the SSA3000X_Plus platform, go to System->System Info->Load Option
# and enter the key for the options you want to enable.  For example, on my
# SSA3021X Plus, I entered the keys for '3032' to enable 3.2GHz and 'ALL'
# to enable all other options.
#
# To increase the bandwidth on the the SDG2000X and SDS1000X-E platforms,
# send the code for the bandwidth you want to license to the device with the
# command 'MCBD <key>'
#
# For example, for my SDG2042X, I sent the code for '120M' and instantly
# turned my SDG2042X into a SDG2122X.  For my SDS1104X-E, I sent the code
# for '200M' and instantly turned my SDS1104X-E into a SDS1204X-E.
#
#
# To enter keys for options, use scpi command LCISL optioncode,hexkey
#
# To change bandwidth, use scpi command MCBD hexkey
#
# Note: enter the key EXACTLY as shown.
#
# To license AWG, MSO and WIFI options on the SDS1000X-E platform, enter the
# code by going to Utility page 3, Options.  Select the option you want to
# install and press Install.  Enter the  code exactly as shown by the script.
#
#
# (10) Enjoy your newly licensed features and/or bandwidth.
#
#


# These are the options known to me at the time I hobbled this script
# together from the various other scripts floating around.  There are
# probably other options that I've missed.  Your milage may vary.  I
# have successfully used the keys provided by this script to upgrade my
# SSA3021X_Plus, my SDG2042X and my SDS1104X-E.

Hello 807,
ist works with CAT.

Thank you for your help.
 

[unclejohn]

Just to report a slight discrepancy but overall success.

I'm enhancing an SDG2082X

I did a firmware update and am now at 2.01.01.38R4.
Telnet is OK, but I haven't been able to connect to the SDG with a browser; the Sys info says the serial number is

                                SDG2XCBX6R1682
>>md5_srln?  shows  SDG2XCBX6R1682



MCBD? shows                      KI3Z7699BUZPCX
The script produces 80M   9TKI3Z7699BUZPCX with 'Keygen' commented out or = 1 or 3.

This is so close that I figured it must be working.

The script says  120M  33ZQ9C396AP3UNXA

I used

>>MCBD 33ZQ9C396AP3UNXA
>>MCBD?
>>ZQ9C396AP3UNXA

I was still in the network setup screen, but I could not leave it. After a power cycle, things acted normally and I could dial in 120 MHz.

Thanks!

[coromonadalix]

thks  for the keygen,

i think a date or a version numbering should be put on the 1st line to avoid or mistakenly use the wrong version / or less updated one ??

my 2 cents

[rs38]

The LA and AWG options are no longer there, as expected. 

why is this expected?
