Agilent ChemStation is the industry leading chromatography data system for Agilent instrumentation, handling the widest variety of separation techniques such as GC, LC, LC/MS, CE and CE/MS.

The software is primarily the same, differences in setting up instruments, that's where you need your license number. The license number is tied to a GC or to an HPLC software, and should be pasted on the side of the instrument if its already computerized, or can be pulled off the existing software.

The newer versions of software (from at least A.06 on) are each on a single CD which contains both GC and HPLC, but you'll need your current license number.

And you might need a newer version of Windows, a newer HPIB board, or update your firmware, depending on how 'up' you want to go. You can actually read an LC data on GC and GC data on HPLC if you take the data directory over on a floppy. In use, the real difference is uner the column titled 'Instrument'. By the way, I doubt if Agilent support will help much with obsolete software. Can you be more specific with exactly what you're trying to do, and what you now have? I'm gonna try to consolidate, looks like we have two threads going (I work with ece) we are currently running our GC with chemstation A03.34 and an 82335 ISA GBIP card on win 95. Apparently A03 is a dinosaur and we are looking for better features, particularly with regard to peak identification.

We don't need a ton of bells and whistles, but as this is being operated by two chemical engineers (not analytical chemists), a little bit more handholding via software wouldn't kill us. Win95 is fine, its relatively snappy as the chemstation is the only thing on it. We have since figured out how to export chromatograms, so output really isnt our issue, but were looking to improve our accuracy and results interpretation. Here is the original topic with some more background: according to seems that A06 is our best bet both for ease of upgrade and feature set, as we could use the same os and card (if it is true that A06-A09 are very similar.) Apparently the A06 upgrade is arguably freeware, maybe someone here could help us out, at least for demo purposes operating systems aside, it appears we would just need to upgrade to 82350 PCI GPIB card, which can be had for a few hundred dollars, and it would carry us up through at least B02. Are there any hidden costs with switching to this interface, could we use the same 10833B cable? I am not sure where to find a license number for our A03.34 version ( i can't find it anywhere in the software (the pc and software came with our GC as a package), and i'm not sure if i did find a license number, what use it would be for other versions we are kind of at a crossroads, as we always see a plethora of chemstation software packages on ebay, with and without licenses, sometime mixed license and version. Sometimes GC, LC, or both.

I understand all of the hardware and version compatability issues, but not really the software and licensing versions. I hate to drop $1000 or more and then have it not work, because we bought a software or license without the correct counterpart. Thanks as always, you guys are truly lifesavers.
