Licensing New Measurement Application Software - After Initial
Purchase
Additional measurement application software can be ordered after your initial purchase
of the E6640A test set. Software upgrades are provided in a kit that includes an option
based Entitlement Certificate, a license agreement. The licenses are downloaded from
the license Web site onto a storage device so they can be loaded into the instrument.
If you do not want to wait for your upgrade kit to arrive, licenses can be installed using
any available USB storage device. If you choose to do this, 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.
Installation procedure over USB
No calibration is required after a test set application installation.
