Viewing a License Key
Measurement personalities purchased with your instrument have been
installed and activated at the factory before shipment. The instrument
requires a License Key unique to every measurement personality
purchased. The license key is a hexadecimal number specific to your
measurement personality, instrument serial number and host ID. It
enables you to install, or reactivate that particular personality.
Use the following procedure to display the license key unique to your
personality option that is already installed in your instrument:

Press
System, More, then Licensing, Show License, and print out a copy of
the display that shows the license numbers. If you should lose your
license key, call your nearest Agilent Technologies service or sales office
