Keysight Licensing Tools Overview
License Management Applications
Keysight provides license management applications to enable you, the customer to install, view, transport, and borrow the licenses you have purchased for use with Keysight products. These license management applications also enable you to configure license servers to share floating licenses among a number of users with the same product.
Keysight employs several versions of Flexera FlexNet Publisher licensing technology to enable licenses for products that can be installed and run on Windows and Linux PCs, as well as Windows based instruments. Each version of licensing has an associated license management application.
Please refer to your Keysight product documentation to determine which of the following license management application(s) are appropriate for your product(s).
