NOTE

You can also use these procedures to reinstall a license key that has
been accidentally deleted, or lost due to a memory failure.

Missing and Old Measurement Application Software

All the software applications were loaded at the time of original
instrument manufacture. It is a good idea to regularly update your
software with the latest available version. This assures that you get
any improvements and expanded functionality that is available.

Because the software was loaded at the initial purchase, there may be
additional measurement applications that are now available. If the
application you are interested in licensing is not available, you will
need to do a software update. (Press

Check the Agilent internet website for the latest software versions
available for downloading:

http://www.agilent.com/find/mxa_software
http://www.agilent.com/find/exa_software

You must load the updated software package into the analyzer from a
USB drive, or directly from the internet. An automatic loading program
is included with the files.
