Licensing - Basic License Information

Licenses are based on the number of nodes configured in CC-SG.

Your purchase of a physical or virtual appliance includes a license to use
a specific number of nodes. This "base license" enables CC-SG
functionality and includes licensing for up to the set number of nodes. If
you need more nodes, you will also purchase an Add-On license for
additional nodes. If you want to use the WS-API feature, you must also
purchase an Add-On license for WS-API access.

License files for physical appliances are associated with a specific
CC-SG unit's Host ID.

License files for virtual appliances are associated with a specific license
server's Host ID.

This means that license files are not transferable.

If you are a new customer with a physical appliance, you will
download your license files from the Raritan Licensing Page website.
See

Licensing - New Customers - Physical Appliance

(on page

14).

If you are an existing pre-5.0 customer, you do not need to download
license files. When a pre-5.0 CC-SG unit is upgraded to 5.0 or
higher, the licenses are converted to the new format. A new base
license and any applicable Add-On licenses are created and
automatically installed and checked out as needed to accommodate
your current configuration. See

Licensing - Existing Customers

(on page 29)

If you are a virtual appliance customer, you must deploy a license
server. See

Licensing - Virtual Appliance with License Server

(on

page 17).
