HP XP P9500 Storage - Manual (Page 68)

In the Grace Period term, the operation can be performed in the same manner as the Installed
status. However, as the license capacity of the meter key continues to be subtracted, the subtraction
continues even if the license capacity of the meter key becomes a negative value. For example:
•
If the licensed capacity of the meter key is -10 TB and 20 TB of license capacity is installed,
the remaining licensed capacity becomes 10 TB.
•
If the licensed capacity is a negative value and more licensed capacity of the permanent key
than the used capacity is installed, the meter license is deleted.
If the license key for the deficient amount of capacity is not installed within the 30 days, the status
changes to Not Enough License, and the software application is disabled. If a permanent key
with more licensed capacity than the used capacity is installed, the meter license is deleted.
Estimating licensed capacity
The licensed capacity is volume capacity that you are licensed to use with the software application.
You need to estimate the amount of capacity which you want to use with the software application
before you purchase the permanent key, the term key, or the meter key.
Software and licensed capacity
Three licensed capacity types are available. The one you choose depends on the software. The
following table shows the licensed capacity types:
