Rigol 1054Z 2nd hand , looking at trial screen options ?

[KD0CAC John]

Looking at a 2nd hand 1054Z , estate sale - so can not talk to last user .
All the options the screen shows ended .
On some other gear I have read about making trial options getting opened to being turned on past trial period .
Most of what I remember was doing hacks before trials ended .
So looking at this unit - the question in mind is if anyone has been able to turn the options on - full time ?

Thanks all

All the options in DS1054Z can be unlocked, as if it the instrument were a full-option DS1104Z.

DS1054Z and DS1104Z have the same hardware and the same probes, only that DS1054Z has some software limitations from the factory.  All the limitations can be removed, and all the options can be unlocked permanently, no matter if they show expired or not.
