I tried to use methods from enabling options threads for other R&S equipment (crypto script for python and script for c (but for that last one i`m also havent hex representation for option codes), in first case got hex code, but need 10 digit.

content: Hello,I have both a FSH3 and a ZVH and would like to know if you can generate some codes for me?The FSH is basic and will read my power module OK. It also has an operational preamp but not sure what other options I can activate.The ZVH antenna and cable analyser once again is basic although if I understand correctly, in this model al the options are already installed and just need the activation code. Is this correct please?My FSH is model 03 with serial 106705. Can you help me with activation of any extra modes on this one please?I tried to assemble and run the keygen on this page but seem to be unable to make it work as the assembler always fails.Particularly if you can help maybe with an executable copy of the key gen, that would help immensely.Even further if you can assist with any extras on my ZVH such as activating the tracking generator would be magnificent.Thank you for reading my letter, Ianian@ian-foster.com

content: I'm late to this topic as-well. I have found myself with an FSH-3 that I'd like the unlock the K1 option on. I've called and talked with R&S but since its a discontinued product they will no longer support the product in any way. Any help would be awesome.

content: This is raising the dead as old as this thread is, but hoping a ghost might see this. I contacted R&S asking to buy an option for my FSH 6.26 spectrum analyzer to allow the Smith Chart function but was told they no longer support this unit and won't sell the code to enable the option. If there is someone who can help I'd be happy to pay for their time.
