Table 11 License types reported by management processor products (continued)
Description License Type
Offers full, unlimited functionality. Permanent
Offers full, unlimited functionality for a limited time. The
license determines the number of days the key allows the
product to function. The days begin counting from the day
of first use. The key can permit more than one instance of
the product to run. Demo keys can authorize use for up to
65,535 days. Demo (time)
Licensed System(s)
License Systems in License Manager enables you to list the systems licensed for the selected product.
Products can elect to not display all or some licensing details.
Some products provide licenses to enable other products. The license keys generated by these
products can be manually added. In many instances, these generated licenses are not visible to
the user. Therefore, the only way to determine if a system is licensed for a product is to check the
license status of the enabling product and noting this relationship.
Add Licenses
Systems Insight Manager enables you to add individual license keys to the License Manager
database.
HP Insight Control remote management product license keys can be added into the database
because they can be deployed directly to management processors.
Collect Remote License Info
Collect Remote License Info (for management processors) collects licenses using an HTTP based
protocol which does not require credentials.
When collecting remote licenses, be aware of the following:
•
Automatic collection of management processor licenses is not supported.
•
You do not have support or upgrade options by default. After July 9, 2007, all license keys
are included in one year of 24 x 7 Software Technical Support and Update Service. The
License Manager informs you which license keys are "support and update enabled" and which
license keys require the purchase of future updates and upgrades.
Collect Remote License Info (for servers) collects license details from selected targets. If licenses are
stored on the selected system (for details, see the specific product information), the selected machine
must be running a variant of Microsoft Windows.
This collection process will do the correct behavior when a product has been selected in Product
License Information table above. When no product has been selected, the behavior is determined
by the type of system selected. When no product has been selected, select the management
processor and NOT the server hosting the desired management processor.
