License Keys
A license key is a text string that functions as a password. When you enter the license key for a product
option in XP Remote Web Console, that option is unlocked. Because each license key is generated with
an array serial number and option ID input, each array requires a unique license key code. License key
codes for each product option and array are provided at the time of purchase (see
).
Figure 29 Overview of License Keys and Option Installation
Three types of license keys are available:
•
A permanent License Key is issued when the software license is purchased. It is used to enable
the product indefinitely.
•
An emergency License Key is used in situations where the temporary key is set to expire in the near
future, and the user cannot get the permanent key in time because of special circumstances (for
example, a licensed server has crashed or problems exist with the communication infrastructure).
An emergency key may also be used when a user who does not intend to purchase the option
needs to undo a configuration change that was made during the lifetime of the temporary license
key. An emergency key is effective for 30 days.
NOTE:
If you forcibly install an emergency key to an option that already has the permanent key, the license
for that option will expire in 30 days.
•
A temporary License Key is for trial use. 75 days after the temporary license key is installed (or
when there are 45 days left before the expiration), a warning message is displayed on the XP
Remote Web Console main pane when you start the XP Remote Web Console. After 120 days,
the temporary license key expires. A message that warns the user of the expiration of the license
key is displayed, and the license key expiration is also reported to the host.
