Permanent Key
A permanent key is purchased to use program product options indefinitely. A permanent key has
an upper limit of volume capacity that can be used for each program product option.
Before purchasing the permanent key, you need to estimate the volume capacity that can be used
for the program product option. This volume capacity is called the licensed capacity. If you add
volumes and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity, Capacity
Insufficient is displayed in Status in the License Key window. In this case, you need to purchase
the additional license to cover the capacity shortage within 30 days. For details on the licensed
capacity, see
If you use HP XP Thin Provisioning Software, the licensed capacity might become insufficient even
though you did not add any volumes. When you use XP Thin Provisioning, see the HP
XP24000/XP20000 Thin Provisioning Software User Guide for details on the license capacity.
Term Key
A term key is purchased to use the program product option for a specified number days.
•
The term key is available for 365 days.
•
You can set the term key to enable or disable each program product option.
Only days when the program product option is enabled with the term key are deducted from
the 365 days when the date changes.
For example, if the term key is set to Enable for 150 days and set to Disable for 100 days
after you installed the term key, there are 215 remaining days (365 days minus 150 days),
although 250 days have passed in total.
You can delay the expiration of the term key by setting the term key to Disable when you are
not using the program product option.
