Evaluation Licensing
 | Before beginning, ensure you do NOT have a Genesys hardware key plugged in. Evaluation licensing will not authorize if you have a hardware key attached. |
 | Evaluation Token - is a pre-approved way Agilent distributes evaluation licenses for Genesys. The token is issued by an Agilent employee, allowing you to request a license without any further approval. If you do not have a token, you can still request an evaluation license file. |
Getting an Evaluation Up and Running
This is a three step process.
- Download and Install Genesys ( Dowload Genesys
).
- Request an Evaluation License. There are three ways you can request an evaluation license:
- Activate the evaluation license by authorizing Genesys using the license.lic file. This will depend on what you choose in step 2, and the instructions are described in those sections.
