About license management
Before you can log on to HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite, you must
register valid Command View AE Suite licenses. Each product managed from Command View AE
Suite also requires a registered license.
Licenses that are registered while you are logged in are not enabled until you log out and log in
again.
The following license types are available:
• Permanent
• Meter-based Term
• Emergency
• Temporary
NOTE:
Before you log in for the first time, a License Alert appears on the login window.
When a problem occurs, such as when a license expires or capacity limits are exceeded, an alert is
displayed in the main window.
