Installation

Download and run the latest installer from the Voxl software page.

Licensing

Once installation is complete, run the LicensingToolbox application in the Voxl installation directory. This can be found at C:\Program Files\Xstrahl\Voxl\tools\LicensingToolbox\LicensingToolbox.exe.

Set Up a License Runtime

Licensing Toolbox

  1. Launch the Licensing Toolbox software if you have not already
  2. Click Install
  3. Wait for installation to complete
  4. Dismiss the results dialog

Generate a Machine ID File

A machine ID file, or C2V file, is a unique identifier for one specific machine. It must be generated on the machine where CST will run. The machine ID file is sent to Varex, and Varex responds with a license activation file that enables licensed features on that machine.

Collect Status Information

To generate a machine ID file:

  1. Run the Licensing Toolbox application
  2. If a User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears, allow the application to run with administrator privileges
  3. Click the “Manage” button in the “Licenses” section
  4. Go to the “Collect Status Information” tab in RUS as shown in Figure 4.2
  5. Check the radio button at the bottom for “Installation of new protection key”
  6. Click the “Collect Information” button
  7. Choose a file name that identifies the specific machine
  8. Choose a save location and click “Save”
  9. Close RUS
  10. Send your CST Product Key and the machine ID file to Varex at cst.support@vareximaging.com
    1. Also CC the relevant Xstrahl personnel as a license should already have been purchased before requesting a machine license.

Apply a License Activation File

After a license has been generated by Varex, you will receive a license activation file, or V2C file. This file is used to activate the licensed features on the machine where the machine ID file was generated.

Apply License File

To apply a license activation file:

  1. Send a machine ID file to Varex and receive a license activation file in response
  2. Run the Licensing Toolbox application
  3. If a User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears, allow the application to run with administrator privileges
  4. Click the “Manage” button in the “Licenses” section
  5. Go to the “Apply License File” tab in RUS as shown in Figure 4.3
  6. Click the “…” button at the bottom and choose the license activation file
  7. Click the “Apply Update” button
  8. RUS should report success
  9. Close RUS.

Transfer a License to Another Machine

An activated license can be transferred from one machine to another without Varex being involved. CST will be able to run on the new machine, but will no longer work on the old machine. To transfer a license, begin on the new machine:

  1. Install the license runtime as described described above.
  2. Run the Licensing Toolbox application
  3. If a User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears, allow the application to run with administrator privileges
  4. Click the “Manage” button in the “Licenses” section
  5. Go to the “Transfer License” tab in RUS as shown in Figure 4.4
  6. Follow the transfer instructions on that tab. This process requires running RUS on both the old and new machines, and transferring files between the machines. The end result is license transfer file, or H2H file.
  7. On the new machine, go to the “Apply License File” tab in RUS as shown in Figure 4.3
  8. Click the “…” button at the bottom and choose the license transfer file
  9. Click the “Apply Update” button
  10. RUS should report success
  11. Close RUS

Generate Reconstruction Protocols

Reconstruction protocols are used to define the parameters that will be used to reconstruct images from SARRP. MuriSuite presents users with a dialog to select what protocol to use when reconstructing images. Protocols are stored in the C:\ProgramData\Xstrahl, Inc\MuriSuite\cbct_protocols directory.

Reconstruction Protocols

To create a new protocol:

  1. Open Voxl.GUI from the start menu
  2. Set the parameters for the protocol in the GUI as desired.
  3. Click File and then Export
  4. Save the protocol with a descriptive name in the cbct_protocols directory mentioned above.
