Well today is November 5th, 4 days after the activating license problem - the magic box said Keysight would contact me but they haven't yet !!

Too busy to mess more with it now - I have a work trip and won't be in the office until Thursday 10th - if I haven't heard anything I'll poke them for some help.

Hi Michael,

It was interesting you too had issues with NI-VISA. Not related to this Keysight software but in the past several apps have failed to run for me because each of them want to install their own copy of VISA. The last time it ended up breaking the operation of existing programs that used the library. I suspect NI have got away with it for years not to resolve such issues in a better manner than this primary/secondary setting and moving DLL files etc (apparently this is only needed for 32-bit apps but we can't control that, some equipment will come with 32-bit software), maybe because in the past their code was most likely running on a fixed single-purpose testbed so people didn't have these issues.
