Installing a License

When you receive the email containing your transportable node-locked or trial license file, follow these steps to install it:

  1. Place the license file either on a network-connected drive or on a drive that is directly connected to the PC.
  2. Start the Keysight License Manager by clicking Utilities > Licenses > Status > Keysight License Manager or double clicking on the Keysight License Notifier icon in your Windows notification area.
  3. In Keysight License Manager, click File > Install.
  4. An Install License File(s) window appears. In this window, browse to the location where you saved the license file. Select the license file, and then click the Open button.

    5. The license is automatically installed and now appears in the Tree View as an installed license under localhost (your computer). Note that the install operation takes some time to complete (up to 30–40 seconds).

  5. Restart the VSA software to activate the license.

For details on other ways to install licenses, see Installing Licenses in the Keysight License Manager Help (click Help > Keysight License Manager Help from within the Keysight License Manager utility or click Start > (All) Programs > Keysight > Keysight License Manager Help).
