Getting Prepared
License Key Redemption
The only difference between an A model license key redemption and a B
model is that the A model uses a 12-character license key and the B model
uses a license key file.
Ensure that you are connected to an external server, before attempting to
download your email and license key file.
If you are unfamiliar with the licensing process, for A models, refer to the
http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/N5235-90110.pdf
for B models, refer to the
http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/N5242-90024.pdf.
The enclosed Software Entitlement Certificate is a receipt, verifying that
you have purchased a licensed option for the PNA of your choice. You must
now use a Keysight Web page to request a license key for the instrument
that will receive the option.
To enable the option product, you must request license key(s) from the
Keysight Software Manager:
http://www.keysight.com/find/softwaremanager.
To complete the request, you will need to gather the following information:
— From the certificate
— From your instrument
— A models ONLY: From the online Keysight HostID utility
6
— Order number
— Certificate number
(Instrument information is available in the network analyzer - on the
toolbar, click Help, then click About Network Analyzer.)
— Model number
— Serial number
Part of the OEC procedure to obtain the 12-digit license key online requires
you to provide the HostID number of the PNA. This HostID number is NOT
the one currently shown on the PNA. To find your new HostID, go to
http://www.na.support.keysight.com/pna/upgrades.html and, using the
HostID utility, enter the PNA serial number and your new, upgraded PNA-L
model number - N5231A/B and N5232A/B.
