Keysight's System Transfer Policy

Buying a pre-owned Keysight Technologies, Inc. test system from a non-Keysight source is not recommended. If you decide to purchase a used system anyway, be aware of two minimum requirements from Keysight: a complete system certication must be conducted, and a software license transfer must be obtained (where applicable). Without these two components, a pre-owned Keysight test system is an island that cannot be supported, updated, or transferred from one owner to another.

Required: Keysight Certication

Keysight Certication helps resolve potential conlicts between a pre-owned test system and an existing test environment, and identities the modifications that need to occur to make the system supportable. With this service, Keysight engineers will evaluate pre-owned hardware and software, identify and document compatibility issues, and identify system limitations that make a system ineligible for a service contract or extended warranty from Keysight. Keysight Certification includes:

– Site Preparation—Keysight engineers will survey your site to determine whether structural, environmental, power, compressed air, vacuum, and LAN requirements are suficient to meet the requirements of the pre-owned system. The entire test environment must be evaluated to ensure that it is properly equipped.

– Onsite Troubleshooting, System Preparation and Installation—If you have already purchased a pre-owned system, Keysight engineers will evaluate it for compatibility with existing systems in your test environment. Additional parts required to bring the system online are billed on a time and- materials basis. When system preparation is complete, Keysight engineers will install your system and verify that it is working properly.

– Support Evaluation—Keysight technicians will inspect a system you have already purchased and provide a list of action items along with itemized costs for making it supportable. This includes, but is not limited to, replacing obsolete hardware and software at additional cost.

– Operator Training (5DX Certiication Service only)—Ten (10) Knowledge Transfer Credits are provided with every certied system, and can be applied toward a variety of training classes and consulting services offered by Keysight. Your Keysight representative can help you locate classes and services that will provide the biggest beneit for you.

– Hardware Service Contract—A one year standard hardware service contract is included with the 3070 Certication Service. This standard service contract is for 8x5 next day response. A hardware service contract is not included in the 5DX certiication service and must be purchase separately.

– Discounts—Certiied systems may be eligible for discounts on product upgrades and support. Contact your Keysight representative for details.

Required: Software License Transfer

Like all commercial software, Keysight test system software is licensed, not sold, to are granted the right to use one copy of the software on one machine or instrument.

When an Keysight test system changes hands, a software license transfer from Keysight is required (where applicable).

The required transfer fee covers a one-time update to the most current version of the Keysight 3070 or Keysight 5DX system software. Note that some hardware modications might be required to run the latest system software. Please contact your Keysight representative or refer to Keysight’s Standard Terms and Conditions to learn more.
