Hello,
If I have a 16702b analyzer with a hard drive failure, I need to replace the SCSI drive and do a "Reignite" process to reload the OS from the system CD-ROM (have this).
But, part of that procedure mentions a license password. What if I no longer have this password or can recover it?
Will this prevent use of the 16702b analyzer, or just certain advanced features (toolsets)?
Is this password unique to the machine? Or can I re-use a license password from another 16702b in our lab?
Regards,
Mike

I'm sorry to say, but you might be SOL...
You don't need any license files to get the analyzer back up and running, but you do need them for any of the optional tools that might have been purchased, such as Inverse Assemblers, Source Code Correlation, etc...
The license files are specific to each 16702 and can't be transferred.
Sadly, licenses files can no longer be created. The 16702B went off the price list in 2005, and support ended 5 years later, in August of 2010. Once support ended, the HP-UX systems used to create the licenses were shut down, disconnected, and recycled.
