Selecting No instead of Yes after changing model displays a different dialog.    Both appear to have the same end effect.  The options program returns to the defaults.
joeqsmith:
Result of sending DIAG:POKE:LONG?

tv84:
Do you know any special "keyword" like?

-95403

It's in the code next to this msg:

"Model changed to special.  Other options can be added after the analyzer restarts.   This will take a few seconds."

Seems related to "EEPROM validitiy code" as they call it.

You're a genius!   Thank you everyone who helped.   Hopefully others are able to benefit from your efforts.

Seems pure luck but each one makes his own luck!  :popcorn:  All done within 1h of code surfing from scratch...

So, my recipe for Joe to find his new E8357A HostID was:

1 - Delete or rename "c:\Program Files\Agilent\Network Analyzer\gen.lic".

2 - Kill the main app (I assume it's 835x.exe) and run it in a DOS shell with the following param:

835x.exe -95403

3 - The app will detect the absence of the license file and regenerate it from the EEPROM, due to that special param, using the new HostID.

4 - Then, with the new HostID, one can recalculate the new FLEXlm licenses.
