Dear Customer:
You have probably heard from news reports and from your sales
representative that as of November 1, 1999, four of Hewlett-Packard’s
businesses became a new company -- Agilent Technologies. The new
company includes the following former HP businesses: test and measurement,
semiconductor products, healthcare solutions and chemical analysis.
We at Agilent Technologies are working diligently to make this transition as
seamless as possible for you, however, we are not able to make all changes
immediately. As a result, the products and related documentation contained in
this shipment may be labeled with either the Hewlett-Packard name and logo
or the Agilent Technologies name and logo. Rest assured that whatever logo
you see, the information, products and services come from the same reliable
source.
In addition, it is our sincere intent that the transition from Hewlett Packard to
Agilent Technologies should have no impact on your warranties, service
levels, or purchase volume credits.
For more information about this transition, please visit our website at:
http://www.agilent.com and click on Frequently Asked Questions about doing
business with Agilent, or contact your local sales representative. It has been
our pleasure to work with you for the past 60 years as part of Hewlett-
Packard. We look forward continuing to serve you as Agilent Technologies
for years to come.

•Add product options to license keys. You can add licenses (temporary or
permanent) to the license key by entering a string obtained from an
Agilent representative.
•Transfer licensed product options between license keys in order to
consolidate licenses onto one key.
•Transfer a license from one key to another.
•Transfer licenses between keys on different computers. You can move
license options to license keys on another computer that is located
anywhere from the same room to another country.
For more information on learning and using the license manager refer to
“Learning the License Manager” on page 3-13. Details on the operation of the
license manager can be found in the online help.
