Hello VE7XDT: Downgrade your firmware to 00.01.07, or previous, then use the Keygen and it will work on your unit. Do NOT install the Tracking Generator option, or the 10 Hz RBW option. Then install the latest firmware (00.01.19.00.03). You don't need to install all the individual firmware, just go to the latest and you will get 10 Hz RBW automatically. Tracking Generator isn't needed if you have a DSA815-TG, so if you install the 10 Hz RBW or Tracking Gen. option you will just add un-necessary garbage in your firmware (it will work Ok, but you will see tracks of it when you check your
Option License info).
When you install the License codes for the options do NOT use any 'hyphens' (-) or 'spaces' between characters. You just want one lone long string of characters.
To downgrade your firmware add the 00.01.07 or earlier firmware to the root directory of a clean USB Pen drive and insert it in the DSA815 (with it OFF) front panel USB connector. Now turn ON the DSA815, watch the screen closely and follow the prompts on the screen to boot from this USB Pen drive. When the installation is done (be very sure it is done) remove the Pen drive and reboot the DSA815. If all is OK and you have the older firmware installed, then use the Keygen to add what you wand (e.g. AMK, EMI, VSWR), but NOT Tracking Gen. or 10 Hz RBW. Check your installed Options. If all is Ok, then go ahead and install the latest firmware (00.01.19.00.03). See ->

PS: This only works on units with Boot Loader 01.02, or 01.0. It will NOT work with Boot Loader .01.04.
Edit: In the last sentence of first paragraph I changed - From: ''firmware info' To: '
Option License info'.
Note: Just so you know - you will NOT loose any of the Options you added using the Keygen later by installing the newer firmware. You are very lucky to have an older unit with Boot Loader 00.01.02 or 00.01.03. B, because even if the Options had expired, you would be able to get them back with the Keygen. Although you do need to have firmware 00.01.07 or earlier installed to use the Keygen successfully.
