# DTS 8
Canonical URL: https://mbretrofit.it/guides/professional/dts-installers/dts-8
Description: Generate a DTS 8 license bound to the intended Windows network adapter and keep the result with the account job history.


## What DTS 8 is for

The DTS 8 provider creates a perpetual license for the intended machine
adapter. The Professional workspace records each generation so a workshop can
keep the result and its notes with the correct job.

## What to prepare

* A compatible DTS 8 installation in a Windows environment
* Administrator access to that environment
* The MAC address of the adapter that will be used with DTS
* A backup of the original DTS installation and configuration

The workspace validates the entered adapter identity before generation.

## Access and resources

An administrator must first enable DTS Installers for the account. The
workspace shows whether DTS 8 is available and confirms any cost before the
license is generated.
