Setting Up a Client PC

When floating or USB portable licenses are used, the client PC or instrument requests a license from the server to run the 89600 VSA software. If a license is available, the server will allocate the license to the client. A client PC needs to be properly configured to communicate with the license server and the VSA software.

The Keysight PathWave License Manager (PLM) is required when using floating or USB portable licenses. This software must be downloaded separately from the web.

To set up a client PC:

  1. Install the Keysight PathWave License Manager on the client PC. You can download the PLM at http://www.keysight.com/find/plm.

  2. Launch the Keysight PathWave License Manager.

  3. Add (install) license files. See the PLM help system for detailed steps.

  4. Specify a remote license server. See the PLM help system for detailed steps.
