How to Authorize Software Packages in Framework

Authorization Codes activate your Gamry Software to work with your potentiostat.  Each of the software packages has a package name (e.g. “DC105” for DC Corrosion Techniques) and a 10-digit Authorization Code that is linked to the serial number of your instrument.

If you are setting up a MultEchem System follow the instructions here

The software packages purchased and associated authorization codes can be found on the packing slip.
