License manager

License Manager enables you to view and manage product licenses within the HP Systems Insight Manager
(HP SIM) user interface. This release supports only ProLiant Essentials licensing.

NOTE:

To run License Manager, you must have

full configuration rights

on the

Central Management Server

(CMS) (to set, select Options

SecurityUsers and AuthorizationsUser) and the All Tools toolbox

(to set, select Options

SecurityUsers and AuthorizationsAuthorizations).

See

“Users and user groups”

and

“Toolboxes”

for more information.

Licenses can be viewed and assigned to specified target

systems

known to HP SIM. For some products, the

licenses are actually sent to the specified system, while for other products, the licensing information is updated
in the License Manager database. The installed licenses can be viewed by product name. New licenses can
be added individually or added in bulk from a file.

License Manager also displays license information for management processors such as Integrated Lights-Out
(iLO) systems, which is collected automatically. License Manager cannot assign licenses to a management
processor. Some management processor products do not support sharing of licensing information with HP
SIM. The settings for management processor license information sharing can be configured with the
management processor console.

NOTE:

The management processor configuration page can be reached by selecting the appropriate

System Page

, clicking Tools & Links, and then clicking the link directed at the iLO. On the iLO, select

Administration

SNMPInsight Manager Settings. In the lower part of the page, locate the Configure

Insight Manager Integration

section. The Level of Data Returned must be set to Enabled or Disabled.

If The Level of Data Returned is set to Disabled, the system is reported. However, the licensing state
cannot be determined and the status indicates this with a message of Not Available. If The Level of
Data Returned

is set to Disabled, there is no license record.

If an iLO system is deleted from the management server

database

, the iLO licensing information saved for

that system is deleted at the same time. For all other system types, such as servers, desktops, and the like,
licensing information is never deleted.

License Manager's Manage Licenses, Assign Licenses, Un-Assign Licenses, and Collect License
Info

features operate directly on the License Manager database or in the Windows registry on the target

system, depending on the product. Apart from early versions of HP ProLiant Essentials Performance
