Sniffer Portable is installed with a temporary license configured to
expire 15 days after the application is started for the first time. After
connecting to Sniffer Portable for the first time, you will see a message
indicating you need to authorize the software within 15 days. The
15-day period is called the "pre-authorization" period.
Before the 15 day pre-authorization period expires, you must authorize
the Sniffer Portable software option(s) that you legally own. Failure to
authorize the Sniffer Portable software will cause the hardware to
automatically reboot and revert to an "unauthorized" state. You will not
be able to use the Sniffer Portable software until it is properly
authorized. See
Authorizing Sniffer Portable on page 13 for more
information.
