Trial and Permanent Licenses

A license is required to enable the analyzer after you have installed the software. There are two kinds of licenses: trial and permanent.

Trial License

The trial license serves two purposes. It allows you to operate the analyzer for fourteen days while you obtain and install your permanent license. It also allows users who have not purchased the software to try the analyzer for fourteen days and decide if they want to purchase the analyzer.

Permanent License (Site Key)

The permanent license, or Site Key, enables the software and options that you purchased. Installing the Site Key disables any options that you did not purchase.

1.	Locate the Site Key Request Form in one of these ways:

a.	(Preferred)  Go to our Web page at www.agilent.com/find/89600 and click Request Site Key. You can fill in the requested information and return the form via email.

b.	Send an email with subject header "send text form" to 89600_SWL@agilent.com. An ASCII text version of the Site Key Request Form will be returned to you via email. You can fill in the requested information and return the form via email.

c.	Locate the printed Site Key Request Form. This sheet of paper is in the Installation Materials envelope shipped with your analyzer. You can fill in the requested information and return the form by Fax.

2.	Locate the License Certificate or Certificates for each piece of software and software option you installed on that computer. The gray parchment License Certificates were shipped with the analyzer.

3.	Locate the Site Code for your computer.

a.	Start the analyzer by double-clicking an icon or by clicking Start > Programs > Agilent 89600 VSA > either Vector Signal Analyzer or Spectrum Analyzer.

b.	If you have accepted a trial license, the analyzer opens. Click Utilities > License > Modify. The Site Code is displayed in this dialog box. Go to step 2.

c.	If you did not accept a trial license, a dialog box asks if you want to authorize your software. Click Yes > New License Tab > Generate Site Code. The Site Code is displayed in this dialog box.

4.	Copy the Site Code onto the Site Key Request Form. The Site Code is a 30-character hexadecimal string, containing only digits 0 through 9 and alpha characters A through F. Spaces are optional, and the code is not case sensitive.

5.	Complete the rest of the form, including the License Certificate numbers.

6.	Return the Site Key Request Form to Agilent Technologies by email to 89600_SWL@agilent.com. Your Site Key will be sent via email to the address you specify on the request form.

(If you do not have access to email, send the Site Key Request Form via fax to (425) 335-2386. Your Site Key will be returned by Fax to the number you provided on the form.)

CAUTION

Be sure to obtain and install your Site Key before your Trial License expires (14 days after you accepted the Trial License). If the Trial License expires, your computer's Site Code changes, and you must obtain a new Site Key.

Installing a Site Key (License)

CAUTION

Be sure to obtain and install your Site Key before your Trial License expires. If the Trial License expires, your computer's Site Code changes, and you must obtain a new Site Key.

When you receive your Site Key, follow these steps to install it:

1.	Start the analyzer.

2.	Click Utilities > License > Modify.

3.	Type your Site Key in the Site Key box. The Site Key is a hexadecimal string, containing only digits 0 through 9 and alpha characters A through F. Spaces are optional, and the key is not case sensitive.

4.	Click Update. (Note that your computer's Site Code changes when you install the Site Key.)

After the software has been enabled on a computer, you can transfer the license to other computers. There are two ways of accomplishing this kind of transfer.

•	Via Floppy disk

•	Via Network Drive

If multiple licenses exist on a single computer, for example if you install the software on a networked drive or a server, the licensing system does not permit the application to be simultaneously opened more times than the number of licenses that exist.

Transferring a License via Floppy Disk

The Transfer In and Transfer Out tabs of the License dialog box provide the mechanism to transfer a single license from one computer to another, using a floppy disk. To begin such a transfer, the software must be installed on two different computers, and at least one valid license installed. Once these preconditions exist, take the following steps to transfer the license:

1.	Perform the following steps on the target computer (the computer to which you want to move the license):

a.	Start the analyzer by double clicking on the icon or by clicking Start > Programs > Agilent 89600 VSA > either Vector Signal Analyzer or Spectrum Analyzer.

b.	During startup, no license is detected, so the software asks if you wish to obtain a license. Click Yes.

c.	In the Authorization dialog box, click Transfer In > Register Transfer.

d.	Enter the path to your floppy disk drive and click OK. The register transfer function writes a license imprint file to the drive whose path you supply.

2.	Remove the floppy disk and insert it in the source computer (the computer that currently has the license).

3.	Perform the following steps at the source computer,

a.	Start the analyzer.

b.	Click Utilities > License > Transfer Out.

c.	Provide the path to the location of the floppy disk and click OK. The licensing software moves the license to the imprint file on the floppy disk. At this time, the license on the source computer is discontinued, or decremented by one in the case of multiple licenses.

CAUTION

Do not lose the floppy disk—it now contains your license for the 89600 analyzer. If you lose the disk you lose your license.

4.	Return the floppy disk to the target computer.

5.	Perform the following steps at the target computer:

a.	If the Authorization dialog box is still open, go to the next step. Otherwise, start the analyzer. In the Invalid Authorization question box, click Yes.

b.	In the Authorization dialog box, click the Transfer In tab, then the Transfer In button.

c.	Provide the path to the location of the license (the floppy disk) and click OK. The software is now enabled on the target computer.

Transferring a License via Network Drive

A license must always be assigned to a particular computer. When two computers on the same network need to share the software, you can use the Direct Out license transfer to move the license between computers without the need to carry floppy disks from one system to another.

To "share" a license, follow these steps:

Install the software on both computers.

1.	Obtain a license for one of the computers in the usual way and install the license.

2.	When you want to run the application on the other computer, click Utilities > License on the licensed (source) computer and click Direct Out.

3.	A dialog box will open asking you for the path to the license destination directory on shared network drive. Type or browse to it and click OK. This transfers the license to the destination computer and disables the license on the source computer.

Now when you open the application on the destination computer, the licensing software recognizes that the license has been transferred. The application will no longer open on the source computer.
