Installing Application Software
When you want to install a measurement application after your initial hardware purchase, you actually
only need to license it. All of the available applications are loaded in your analyzer at the time of
purchase.
So when you purchase an application, you will receive an entitlement certificate that is used to obtain a
license key for that particular measurement application. Enter the license key that you obtain into the
Signal Analyzer to activate the new measurement application. See below for more information.

Viewing a License Key

Measurement personalities 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.

print out a copy of the display showing the license numbers to do this. 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. Follow the instructions that
accompany the certificate to obtain your license key.
Installing a license key for the selected application can be done automatically using a USB memory
device. To do this, you would put the license file on 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 license management application in the
instrument. It is found through the instrument front panel keys at
