•
The term key, which is the same as the permanent key, has a limit for the volume capacity
that can be used for each program product option.
If you add volumes and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity,
Capacity Insufficient will be displayed in Status in the License Key window. In this case, you
need to purchase an additional license to cover the capacity shortage within 30 days. For
details on the licensed capacity, see
“Licensed Capacity” (page 45) .
If you use XP Thin Provisioning, the licensed capacity might be insufficient even if you did not
add any volumes. When you use XP Thin Provisioning, see the HP XP24000/XP20000 XP
Thin Provisioning Software User Guide for details on the license capacity.
•
If the term key has expired, you can install a program product option with another license
key.
When the term key has expired, Not Installed is displayed in Status in the License Key window.
You can install the temporary key, the term key, the emergency key, or the permanent key to
the program product option in this status.
•
When the license key for a program product (A) expires, the license key for a program product
(B) that requires the expired program product (A) will be also disabled.
When this occurs, Not Enough is displayed in the Status of the program product (B) in the
License Key window.
Emergency Key
An emergency license key is used in situations where the temporary key or the term key is set to
expire in the near future and the user cannot get the permanent key in time because of special
circumstances (for example, a licensed server has crashed or there are problems with the
communication infrastructure). An emergency key may also be used when a user who does not
intend to purchase the option needs to undo a configuration change that was made during the
lifetime of the temporary key or the term key.
•
An emergency key is effective for 30 days.
If you forcibly install an emergency key for an option that already has a permanent key or
term key, the license for that option will expire in 30 days.
•
When the license key for a program product expires, the license key of a program product
that requires the expired program product will be also disabled.
Licensed Capacity
The licensed capacity is the volume capacity that you are licensed to use with a program product
option. You need to estimate the amount of capacity that you want to use with the program product
option before you purchase the permanent key or the term key. The licensed capacity has three
types depending on the program product option.
Table 14 (page 46) explains the licensed capacity types and how to estimate the licensed capacity.
For details on which licensed capacity type should be estimated for the program product option,
see
“Remote Web Console Options and Licensed Capacity” (page 47) .
