Licensing 

IxLoad 9.30 is a licensed product. It ships with Ixia Licensing 5.60. When IxLoad tests are executed on Ixia hardware (appliances or load modules in chassis) 
a license needs to be installed on each chassis or appliance. In Virtual Environment, the license may be installed on a centralized server in your network.

For further information about the new IxLicensing system, please refer to the "Ixia Licensing Management User Guide" provided with the software and downloadable from the Ixia web site.

On August 12th, 2022, many of Keysight's Network Test, Network Visibility, & Edge to Core (NAS/formerly Ixia) products migrated to a new license structure. 

CRITICAL: If you perform licensing operations after August 12th, 2022, without upgrading the licensing software to the latest version, licenses may not register properly, and some features may be missing. 
This could impact testing and result in downtime.

 For details, click here.

Installation Notes 

IxLoad has two components: 
(1) the 'chassis'  component needs to be installed on the Ixia chassis being used; 
(2) the 'client'  component needs to be installed on the user workstation where the IxLoad GUI will be run. 
(1) Chassis Component Installation
Installation on Windows OS based chassis
    After successful installation of IxOS Server application you need to install IxLoad Chassis component found on the flash-drive or on the IxLoad Software Downloads & Documentation site.

    NOTE: The IxLoad Client component cannot be installed on the Ixia Chassis.

         XGS12-HS and XGS2-HS chassis
          In order to use IxLoad 9.30 with a XGS-HS or XGS-SD chassis, one needs to install IxOS 9.30 which requires that the operating system running on the controller is FLIX OS 2022.1.85.8.

Installation on XGS12-HSL and XGS2-HSL chassis
    Starting from IxLoad 8.14 EA, the XGS2-HS, XGS12-HS chassis can optionally be converted to run Native IxOS, for improved stability and performance. 
    The conversion removes the Microsoft Windows OS, and replaces it with IxOS running natively on the chassis (over Linux OS). Once complete, 
    the chassis are effectively converted to XGS2-HSL and XGS12-HSL. For more information, including the conversion process procedure, 
    please download and read the "Converting XGS and PSOne to Native IxOS (PDF)" document available on the IxOS Downloads And Updates site.

Installation on XGS12-SDL and XGS2-SDL chassis
    Starting from IxLoad 8.40 EA, the XGS2-SD, XGS12-SD chassis can optionally be converted to run Native IxOS, for improved stability and performance. 
    The conversion removes the Microsoft Windows OS, and replaces it with IxOS running natively on the chassis (over Linux OS). Once complete, 
    the chassis are effectively converted to XGS2-SDL and XGS12-SDL. For more information, including the conversion process procedure, 
    please download and read the "Converting XGS SD to Native IxOS (PDF)" document available on the IxOS Downloads And Updates site.
	
    NOTE: The IxLoad Chassis component is no longer needed on the Native IxOS chassis.

Installation on PSOne or Novus ONE appliance
    For PSOne or Novus ONE there are no IxLoad components required to be installed on the appliance. For proper use of the appliance only IxOS must
    be upgraded to a compatible build. 

(2) Client Component Installation
Windows OS Prerequisite Installation Notes
    As part of the IxLoad installation, the installer program automatically installs the following prerequisites 
    that are coming as separate installers: Microsoft SQL Server 2017 and Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.1.

    In some situations, a dialog may be displayed notifying you to browse to the specific prerequisites installers' location. 
    You may find them under Prerequisites folder in the root of the flash-drive or you may download them from Ixia website. 
    To access the prerequisites you must sign-in on www.ixiacom.com site and browse to product installation prerequisites site.

    If you experience any issue related to the installation of these prerequisites please refer to the below notes: 

    NOTE: During installation you may be presented with a error dialog declaring a 1945 error has occurred. One possible cause is the presence of anti-adware
                or anti-virus software running on the target machine. Please disable these applications prior to your next installation attempt.
      
    NOTE: IxLoad requires Microsoft .NET 4.5.1 and Microsoft .NET 2.0.
	        On some versions of Windows, .NET 2.0. cannot be installed separately and must be manually selected with .Net 4.5.
