Managing licenses
The Manage Licenses feature enables you to manage licenses for the product selected in the Product License
Information
table. With this HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) release, you can manage ProLiant
Essentials licenses. Licenses can originate from direct user input, license information collected using Collect
License Info or from an automatic process linked to HP SIM discovery and identification (for management
processors only), and other automatic means (some products will issue licenses for other products).
From the License Manager page, select a product and click Manage Licenses. The License Manager
window is updated with information about the available licenses for the selected product, including:
•
License Category . The kind of license. All permanent, paid licenses are displayed as a single category,
even though you might have purchased several separate licenses. From the License Manager perspective,
the purchase date is not important.
•
Licenses Available . The total number of licenses that are available to assign to systems .
•
Licenses Assigned . The total number of licenses of the selected type that are assigned to systems.
•
Licenses Used . The total number of licenses that have been used by systems. A license is not used
until the product has been used on a system. This total includes previously used licenses that have
expired.
•
Days permitted . The total number of days authorized for use by this license (time specific licenses
only). For BETA licenses, this is the number of days from the date the license was issued. For subscription
licenses, it is the number of days since the license was first used on any target. For all others, it is the
number of days from when the license was first used on the selected target. All uses of this license after
the first use will have the same number of days remaining as the target first licensed.
