The 89600 VSA software has four types of licenses: demo, trial, PC instrument, and
floating. The demo license is automatically installed when the VSA software is installed.
The trial license enables all software options for 14 days. When the 14-day trial expires
the software will revert back to the demo license unless you have installed a PC instrument
license or floating license. The PC instrument license must be installed on the same computer
as the VSA software, however the license can be moved from one computer to another. The
floating or network license provides the ability to use the same license on different PC's.
In this video I will show you how to redeem and install a PC instrument license. For step-by-step
instructions on installing the various licenses, see the Agilent 89600B installation guide.
After you locate your entitlement certificate you then need to open the Agilent license
manager. I'm going to open it by clicking on the Agilent license notifier icon located
in my system tray. You can also open it by clicking on start, all programs, Agilent,
Agilent license manager.
Now that I have the necessary information I'll open the Agilent software manager website.
From a browser window type www.agilent.com/find/softwaremanager.
If you have already registered for this site, enter your email address
and the password you used when you registered, then click the
login button. If you haven't registered click the register button. Now enter your
email address twice and enter a password. The password must contain at least eight characters,
one of which must be a number. You will need to remember the password to log back in at
a later date.
Now click the "I accept the terms of use" checkbox and click "continue." Now enter
your order number and certificate number from your software license entitlement certificate.
Since mine is online I'm simply going to copy and paste.
Now click "continue."
Here you can see the licenses I have purchased are displayed. The only thing I need to do
now is click "complete registration." This screen asks if I want to get my license
now. With "yes" selected I'm going to click "okay."
Now I need to assign my licenses. I have to select a host. I'm going to select "add
a new host." I'm going to copy the host ID from the Agilent license manager and paste
it into the host ID field.
Now I need to select the licenses I would like to assign
and then click the "assign licenses" button. Review this window and then click the "continue" button
Now click "request licenses."
Now click the "okay" button and check your email for your license.
When you receive the email containing your license file, save it to a
network connected drive or to a drive that is directly connected to your PC or instrument.
I saved my license file to my PC's desktop.
If you close the license manager, reopen it by clicking on the license notifier icon located
in your system tray. Now with the Agilent license manager open, simply drag the license
file to the license manager. The license will be installed. You can see them listed under
the licensed products and features column. If the VSA software is currently running you'll
need to restart it to activate the license. This completes the process for redeeming and
installing a VCA PC instrument license. www.agilent.com/find/89600
