I agree, if he doesn't have software already set up he'll spend more
time futzing around than if he just banged it out at the keypad.

Reminds me of a guy I worked with. He would walk all the way across a
building and back to the the van to get a battery screw gun instead of
using the manual screwdriver in his toolbag, just to remove 1 or 2
screws.  Used to crack me up.

The reason I mentioned the LED is most ademco panel instruction
manuals have simplified instructions for setting up a keyswitch with
an armed LED, or they used to anyway, I think.
