Installing licenses using the nalicense
The HP ProLiant Essentials Network License Manager (nalicense), which ships with the NCU, is a
Windows based command line utility and can be run at the command line of a Command Prompt
window or from a Windows command file.
The
nalicense
command validates that the license is a proper INP license and if it is valid it adds it to
the system. The
nalicense
command can also be used to display valid licenses on the system.
For information about the utility, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Network License Manager for
