Requesting the License Key for Napatech Link™ Capture Software

Each Intel® PAC A10 GX acceleration card has a unique six-digit serial number, that relates to a specific license key. You will need this serial number when you request the license key.

1. If you have physical access to the Intel® PAC A10 GX acceleration card, you can find the six-digit serial number on a small tab close to the PCIe connector:
   
   In this example, the Intel® PAC A10 GX acceleration card has the serial number 202946.

   Note: Make sure that you locate the number on the top face of the card, as shown in the image.
2. If you do not have physical access to the card, use the following tool from the Intel extra tools package to read the serial number. For example:

   install_dir/opae-1.1.2-1/tools/extra/pac/pac_hssi_config/pac_hssi_config.py eeprom

   Here is an example of the output. The Intel® PAC A10 GX card is shown as serial number 202946:
