After installing the Permanent license for an XP disk array, if you want P9000 Performance Advisor
to monitor internal raw disk capacity beyond the Permanent licensed capacity, generate another
Permanent license at the HPAC website.
Similarly, after installing the Permanent license for a P9000 disk array, if you want P9000 Performance
Advisor to monitor usable capacity beyond the Permanent licensed capacity, you can generate another
Permanent license or a Meter based Term license at the HPAC website.
The procedure to generate and add the Meter based Term license is similar to the above procedure
for Permanent license. While generating a Meter based Term license, you can select the TB-Days that
you want to use when entering the registration number. For example, if you have a Meter based Term
LTU for 100TB-Days and you want to use only 25TB-Days, enter 25 as the TB-Days. You are provided
a license key that can be used for 25TB-Days. You can use the remaining 75TB-Days later for the
same or a different P9000 disk array. The TB-Days of Meter based Term license that you generate
are bound to the P9000 disk array serial number when the license key is generated.
