Abilis version 8.0 requires an explicit licence with validity for version 8.x or more.
If a remote upgrade to version 8.0 is tried and if a valid licence for the version 8 is missing, this will not be loaded, and the last successfully booted version will be started.
If the only firmware available belongs to the version 8, it will only allow loading a valid licence.
Each Abilis CPX has a unique identifier which is visible on the serial number label.
It's easy to retrieve this identifier from a remote Abilis using the commands d i or d g. The identifier is named ABILIS-ID.

Abilis CPX - Ver. 8.5.1/STD - Build 4238.7 - Branch 8.5 - 02/08/2017 (c) 1994/2017 - Abilis ABILIS-ID: 1800310 Free/Total Memory (in byte): 605,658,848/950,497,280 Free/Used/Total HD/CF space (in Kibyte): 425,828/85,692/511,520 ... [16:04:14] ABILIS_CPX:d g
... ABILIS-ID: 1800310 <Read Only>
The ABILIS-ID indicates the class of the product followed by its Serial/Number.
Other features may be added purchasing additional licences and installing them using the steps in the chapter Section 7.1.2, “Licence management”.
The identification of the class is easy:
Table 7.1. Abilis ID and class of products
Number of digits of ABILIS ID | Class of product |
---|---|
5 or less than 5 | 0 (legacy production) |
6 | identified by the first, leftmost, number |
7 | identified by the first two digits, leftmost, number |
Examples:
ABILIS-ID: 2001 or ABILIS-ID: 50002 are of class 0
ABILIS-ID: 300049 has class 3, ABILIS-ID: 100031 has class 1
ABILIS-ID: 1600240 has class 16, ABILIS-ID: 1400031 has class 14
Note | |
---|---|
If there's no ABILIS-ID, it means that Abilis isn't equipped with MFIDE device and so it belongs to FP class. |
