Installing Application Software

If you want to install a measurement application after your initial hardware purchase, you need
only to license it. All of the available applications are loaded in your analyzer at the time of
purchase.

Thus, when you purchase a new application, you will receive an entitlement certificate that you
can use to obtain a license key for that application. To activate the new measurement application,
enter the license key that you obtain into the Signal Analyzer.

Viewing a License Key

Measurement applications that you purchased with your instrument have been installed and
activated at the factory before shipment. The instrument requires a unique License Key for every
measurement application purchased. The license key is a hexadecimal string that is specific to
your measurement application, instrument model number and serial number. It enables you to
install, or reactivate, that particular application.

Press System, Show, System to display the measurement applications that are currently licensed in
your analyzer.

Go to the following location to view the license keys for the installed measurement applications:

C:\Program Files\Agilent\Licensing

You may want to keep a copy of your license key in a secure location. To do this, you can print
out a copy of the display showing the license numbers. If you should lose your license key, call
your nearest Agilent Technologies service or sales office for assistance.

Obtaining and Installing a License Key

If you purchase an additional application that requires installation, you will receive an
"Entitlement Certificate", which may be redeemed for a license key for one instrument. To obtain
your license key, follow the instructions that accompany the certificate.
