Agilent E4406A Vector Signal Analyser

Speaking of the 89600 software......
Which is the latest VSA software version which can support the E4406A with the registry hack? Is v 12 the last version known to work?

I've not tried connecting to it beyond V12 so I'm afraid I don't know. Beyond V12 the SW was changed from 89601A to 89601B so I suspect there were quite a few changes made at this point. I think the later versions need Win7 or newer and the standalone laptop I use with it is an old dual core PC running WinXP. So I'm sticking with V12 as it does what I want for now.
However, I did download V19 a while back and had a play with it on my main PC but I didn't try to connect to the E4406A.
I'm mainly using the E4406A + the SW to grab offair signals so I can replicate them by sending the captured data to a vector sig gen and then I play around with the replicated signal on the bench. For stuff like this it works really well and I don't need any extra features for now :)

Well I just quickly installed v12 on a Parallels virtual instance eon OSX running Win 8.1 pro...and in demo mode the software works quite well and fast. No hickups, freezes or crashes...
not sure if it still works with newer agilent io library though...

Okay...my E4406A arrived today and sits now besides my desk (o;
IP configured, reg hack installed...but when launching VSA Software 12.0x it tells me that no suitable Input hardware was found...
Something I missed?
Also Keysight IO connection expert doesn't recognize it...
Or does it work only via GPIB?
