Installing the License in an E6640A EXM Wireless Test Set

Before installing the license file, save a backup copy in a safe place.

The Keysight License Manager (ALM) software requires a LAN connection between the PC on which it is installed and the instrument-controlling PC. It can also be installed directly on the instrument-controlling PC.

  1. If you do not have Keysight License Manager installed on your PC, you can download it at no charge from the following website: http://www.keysight.com/find/licensemanager.

  2. Copy the license file to the PC with ALM. The license file has a .lic extension, and is attached to the email message you received when you redeemed your license.

  3. Obtain the hostname or IP address of controlling PC.

  4. Start the Keysight License Manager software.

  5. In the Keysight License Manager main window, click File > Connect... to open the Connect to host system(s) dialog box.

  6. In the Connect to host system: field, enter either the hostname or the IP address of the signal generator obtained in Step 4.

  7. Click OK. The instrument address and its installed licenses appear in the tree view (left pane). The right pane displays additional information for each license. (See the Closeddrop-down figure.)

  8. Click File > Install License(s)... to open the Install License File(s) dialog box.

  9. Use the Install License File(s) dialog box to navigate to the location where you placed the license file (*.lic) in Step 3.

  10. Select the desired license file and click Open.

  11. Wait for a message to appear, informing you that the license has been successfully installed in the signal generator.

    Refer to the Keysight License Manager online help for more information about using the software.
