Licensing New Measurement Application Software -
Additional measurement application software can be ordered after your initial
purchase of the signal analyzer. Software upgrades are provided in a kit that
includes an option based Entitlement Certificate and a license agreement. The
licenses are downloaded from the license Web site onto a USB storage device so
they can be loaded into the instrument.
For all software upgrades, we recommend that the latest version of the instrument
software be installed. This ensures that the measurement application being licensed
and activated is installed and is the most current version.
The latest revision of the software may be downloaded from:

A license key is usually for one instrument model and serial number combination.
The license key will only install itself on that instrument.
No calibration is required after a measurement application installation.
