I felt I owed it to everyone involved to make one last action shot to show off the PNA's higher range settings.   

Both the LiteVNA and PNA were set to 1601 data points, 1kHz IF, 300k-9.0GHz.  No averaging was used.  Both ports were terminated during the measurement.

The LiteVNA was calibrated using the standards supplied with the V2Plus4 which includes the second best sorted load from Mini-circuits using the ideal model.  The leakage error term is being corrected. 

The PNA was calibrated using my homemade standards that I characterized using Mario's MatLab scripts against a set of Agilent standards.  The best of the eight sorted loads is used (not a bad $80 investment).   These were characterized to 6GHz.  Coefficients are being used and the unknown thru model is selected. 

For fun I set the PNA's IFBW to 100Hz as well.  This is about as fast as the LiteVNA at 1kHz.

Hello. I have a newly acquired E8357A that has option 015 (configurable test set) already installed. At the time I purchased my
VNA, Keysight had a store on eBay that was offering the time domain option (010). After I received the VNA I realized the Keysight eBay store was no longer selling the options. I asked Keysight Used for a quote on the time domain option, but was told they do not deal with consumers only commercial clients. I was pissed, so now I find myself here looking to hack the time domain option, and to throw in the 9GHz upgrade for good measure.
Reading the posts here, I see the procedure to get the new HostID, but how do I calculate the FLEXlm licenses afterwards? I'm a newbie to this option hacking process. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Since I missed all the fun with the .exe files (I guess that was a PM to TV84), I will jump in here  :) Post your new HOSTID and the wanted options and some magic will happen.

It seems this quest had a bit of history in recent weeks...

For reference only.

Thanks PA0PBZ! I will clone my HDD before messing around with the files since the unit came with a 6-month warranty. I ordered a HDD that is scheduled to arrive mid-week. Once that is done I will post my HostID. Very much appreciated!
