In this section, view the status of all the Permanent licenses
installed on HP XP7 Performance Advisor. It displays the

License Status

aggregate of all valid license capacities for each XP or
XP7 disk array monitored by HP XP7 Performance Advisor.

If a Meter based Term license is installed for an XP7 disk
array in addition to the Permanent license, the status of the
installed TB-Days is also displayed (example, 50TB,
100TB-Days).

If a Meter based Term license is removed, the license
capacity displayed will be the capacity of the Permanent
licenses installed at that time. For example, assume that
the current license capacity for a P9500 Disk Array shows
as 1TB, +2TB-Days. If you remove the 2TB-Days, the current
license capacity shows as 1TB. However, if the 2TB-Days
are completely used, you cannot remove the Meter based
Term license.

The Last Updated Time displays the date and time, when
HP XP7 Performance Advisor last updated the license status
for an XP or an XP7 disk array.

Select a license record and click View Details for
information pertaining to each installed license. These
details are displayed in the View License Details section.

For a Meter based Term license, the View License Details
section also displays the total TB-Days that are used and
the date when used.

In this section, view the events generated for each license
key. The time stamp for each event is also displayed.
