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 Keysight
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.
Installing a license key for the selected application can be done automatically using a USB memory device.
To do this, you copy the license file to the USB memory device, at the root level. Follow the instructions
that come with your software installation kit.
Installing a license key can also be done manually using the built-in license management application,
which may be found via the instrument front panel keys at System, Licensing. . . , or on-disk at:
C:\Programming Files\Agilent\Licensing
You can also use these procedures to reinstall a license key that has been accidentally deleted, or lost due
to a memory failure.
Updating Measurement Application Software
All the software applications were loaded at the time of original instrument manufacture. It is a good idea
to regularly update your software with the latest available version. This helps to ensure that you receive
