7.2 Assigning Insight Control for Linux licenses to discovered systems
You can apply a license to a server now or when running any of the deployment tasks, which are
discussed in
and in
You must apply an Insight Control for Linux license to the discovered systems you want to monitor
with Insight Control for Linux:
NOTES:
•
When you apply the Insight Control for Linux license, the license is locked immediately when
it is assigned to the server.
Before Version 6.0, the license was assigned, but locked later during an Insight Control for
Linux operation (for example, installation or setting up monitoring).
•
Exercise caution when assigning an Insight Control for Linux license, particularly when assigning
licenses to multiple targets.
Only servers require this license. Licensing any other device, such as a management processor,
wastes a license needlessly; licenses are difficult to remove after they are assigned.
