2 Adding and applying licenses
When you installed Insight software, the
HP Insight Software Getting Started Guide instructed you to use the
HP Insight managed system setup wizard to add and apply licenses to your managed systems.
Use the procedures in this chapter to add and apply licenses whenever you purchase additional Insight
Control licenses from HP. Typically, you require a new license when you increase the number of servers in
your hardware configuration and you want to manage them with Insight Control software.

A license is required for each physical server and each virtual machine host you want to manage. Insight
Control server deployment requires one license for each server (physical or virtual) that is deployed with
Insight Control.
