I would be VERY happy to check this if somebody could generate the keys :-)


What model are you talking about, E440X or E444X?

I've got a E4440A. roxbox said they have the same flex-lm data, so I would love to try it out.

added: I looked at the E4406A bin and the E4440A and found the flexlm structure,
the data is the same for both so I would think that the keys and seeds for the E4406A would work with the E444xA  specans.

Thank you for your link. Apparently this problem was brought up to Keysight and they answered:
https://edadocs.software.keysight.com/kkbopen/i-ve-upgraded-my-esa-with-option-1dr-narrow-resolution-bandwidths-yet-the-instrument-will-not-go-below-a-1-khz-bandwidth-why-is-this-589744737.html
I haven't tried it as I don't have a GPIB-USB. I will acquire one and try.

The structure of the license file is slightly different and that's what I need to feed into the license generator. Try this:

Code: [Select]
215 E3EDAD5542E0
219 B725D9815AD4
226 A527A5753FC2
233 F1B7B5594CBC
239 CBE3DB7F58B6
241 8B9AB05C4FD7

Hi PA0PBZ,
I just tried it out, but it doesn't work  :'(
I'll got back through the thread and check how I might get the data out of the E4440A.
Thanks for helping me check this out!

Do you have an active option so I can compare?

Hi PA0PBZ,

Did I not post correctly or miss a post? Wanted to make an additional request:

Could I please get the keys for 227, 252, BAC, BAH for HostID: DE229E3E

Thanks!

Well, you said 'maybe I should get' so I was just waiting for you to make up your mind!  ;)
Also, first time you asked for 229 and now it is 252, so I included both, no idea if they make sense.

Code: [Select]
227 5593B899D5E0
229 4397CAABB9EE
252 B63DAA03CCE8
BAC B2A883845AB7
BAH B99A7C7D4CBE

Yes, the options are

122   1EECA67647DB
123   1FEEA5754DD8
202   9C78B75B49DC
210   DEF3B25A44DF

BAF   4AAF60E8B0B1

Is there any other way I can help? Marc

Thanks PA0PBZ! They worked fine ;)

Sorry for the confusion, as I still needed to research the hardware. The 229 requires the modulation decode board that I'm almost certain I'll never locate. And the 252 is an EDGE adder tot he GSM capabilities, which I do have the hardware for...

Many thanks! You're peaking my interest in this eevblog and I'm hoping that I can return the favors :)

Hi Marc,

I generated the first 3 and they match, so I'm confident that I can generate the correct keys and at the same time puzzled why they don't work for you.
Here's the license file I generated, with the first 3 options you asked and the last 3 you provided. The last 3 match what you showed...

Code: [Select]
FEATURE 215 TMOMID01 1.0 permanent uncounted E3EDAD5542E0 \
HOSTID=HOSTNAME=84242774
FEATURE 219 TMOMID01 1.0 permanent uncounted B725D9815AD4 \
HOSTID=HOSTNAME=84242774
FEATURE 226 TMOMID01 1.0 permanent uncounted A527A5753FC2 \

FEATURE 122 TMOMID01 1.0 permanent uncounted 1EECA67647DB \

Hi PA0PBZ,
I stopped after 2 fails. It is possible that I got the keys wrong when I was copying from my mobile phone.
I'm away this weekend, will try again on Monday.
Thanks again,
Marc

Hi PA0PBZ

I have a challenge for you :-)
This time not an E4402B, but a N8973A Noise Figure Analyzer - which is basically the same

Host ID: 40377DD9
Option: 1D5 (the only option for the N8973A)

No luck here - the 1D5 option is not upgradeable on the N8973A

Never mind - I can always use the analyzer with an external 10 MHz reference

Hi,
In my E4407B had to replace the A4 CPU board, desoldered and replaced the eeprom to keep my serial # but lost my options which were 1D6, 1DR, A4H, AYX, BAA, AYZ.
In addition, I would really appreciate it if you could help me enable a few extra ones: 219, 226, 229 and J36.
My serial is US40241687 and Host ID is: 4AF673B0

PA0PBZ,
Hi,
I have enabled all the options above and I have got a quasi-peak detector board for this E4407B analyzer.
Could you also generate the AYQ code? It would open-up extra detector modes in the menu.
As before, my serial is US40241687 and Host ID is: 4AF673B0
Thanks a bunch, 73
Serge

Hello,

I have a E4402B serial number US39160343 with firmware A.01.02. I attached a picture of my configuration.

Should I upgrade my firmware ?
Can you generate the keys to unlock the options ? Thank you a lot.

Options are based on the HOSTID, if you can post that and the options you want I can help.
