Adding and applying licenses for Insight Control server deployment

A license enables a server, either a physical server or a virtual machine, to be deployed and
managed by the Insight Control Deployment Server software. One license is required for each
server being managed.

After a license is applied to a server, it cannot be removed or transferred to another server. This
includes a server blade that is installed using the Rip-and-Replace procedure. The replacement
server automatically uses the original server license for your convenience. However, to be legally
licensed, a separate license must be purchased for each server.
