How do I install the license for my Graphical Measurement Application (GMA) N4017A software?

Description

1) When you redeem your N4017A entitlement certificate at https://asl.software.keysight.com/license/login.asp, you must decide if you wish to lock the software to an N4010A test set or to a PC. If you decide to license it to a test set, then you provide its serial number and you can run the software on any PC, and if you license it to a PC, then you provide its MAC address and you can run the software with any N4010A test set. In either case, the license file must reside on the PC that is running the software.

To determine the MAC address of the PC, you may either:

  • Type ipconfig /all from a DOS prompt and copy the address from the resulting information, or
  • Launch the N4017A application, select Demo Mode from the buttons on the right side and wait for the application to open. From the toolbar, click on Help > License Information to open a window that displays the MAC address (also called Host ID) in the upper right corner as seen below.

2) When you receive the license file via email, copy it into the N4017A folder on the C drive of the PC running the software (C:\Program Files\Agilent\N4017A Bluetooth GMA). Open the application again and select License Administrator from the buttons on the right, or select Demo Mode again and Help > License Information. When the License Information window (same as above) opens this time, click on the Search for Licenses button in the lower left corner. A window opens to allow you to browse to the N4017A Bluetooth GMA folder on your C drive. When you highlight that folder and click OK, the license(s) will automatically populate the window as seen below:

Click on OK. Note that the column with the heading Host ID shows either a MAC address or an N4010A serial number, depending on how the certificate was redeemed in step 1 above.

To complete the licensing process, close and reopen the GMA application.
