HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 24)

Description Screen elements
In this section, view the status of all the Permanent licenses installed on P9000 Performance
Advisor. It displays the aggregate of all valid license capacities for each XP or P9000
disk array monitored by P9000 Performance Advisor.
If a Meter based Term license is installed for a P9000 disk array in addition to the
Permanent license, the status of the installed TB-Days is also displayed (example, 50TB,
100TB-Days).
If a Meter based Term license is removed, the license capacity displayed will be the
capacity of the Permanent licenses installed at that time. For example, assume that the
current license capacity for a P9500 Disk Array shows as 1TB, +2TB-Days. If you remove
the 2TB-Days, the current license capacity shows as 1TB. However, if the 2TB-Days are
completely used, you cannot remove the Meter based Term license.
The Last Updated Time displays the date and time, when P9000 Performance Advisor
last updated the license status for an XP or a P9000 disk array.
Select a license record and click View Details for information pertaining to each installed
license. These details are displayed in the View License Details section.
For a Meter based Term license, the View License Details section also displays the total
TB-Days that are used and the date when used.

Instant-on license on P9000 Performance Advisor installation
The Instant-on license or the trial license is provided with every instance of P9000 Performance Advisor.
By default, this license is automatically enabled when you install P9000 Performance Advisor. The
following are important notes on the Instant-on license:
• It is either valid for a period of 120 days from the day you install P9000 Performance Advisor or
until the time you generate, and install a new license for one or more monitored XP or P9000 disk
arrays. It cannot be generated from the HPAC license key website. For more information on adding
licenses, see “
Installing licenses ” on page 37.
Consider the following example, where P9000 Performance Advisor is installed on 20th Aug’09
and monitoring five arrays (combination of XP and P9000 disk arrays). The Instant-on license is
enabled on the same date and valid until the 19th Dec’09. If you add two more XP disk arrays
on 31st Aug’09 for which configuration data is collected, the XP disk arrays are still monitored
in the current Instant-on license mode only. The Instant-on duration of 120 days is not calculated
separately for the additional two XP disk arrays.
