Obtain ADS License File
ADS requires a license to run. You can either apply for an Evaluation or a Purchased license. Once the license request is approved, a license file (with .lic extension) is sent as an email attachment. Save this file on your computer at C:\Program Files\Keysight\EEsof_License_Tools\bin\licenses.

- The default EEsof licensing tool path will remain as
C:\Program Files\Agilent\EEsof_License_Tools, if an EEsof product released before 1st August, 2014 is installed prior to an EEsof product released after 1st August, 2014. The EEsof Licensing tool path will be changed to C:\Program Files\Keysight\EEsof_License_Tools, if you only install an EEsof product released after 1st August, 2014. - Make sure to save the license file on the same machine where you install the Keysight software.
