Licensing Insight Control server migration through the Insight Control license
manager
HP Insight Control server migration (previously known as HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant)
can be installed with Insight Control 6.0. Server migrations are allowed to any system with an Insight Control
license applied. A separate Insight Control server migration license is no longer required if the destination
virtual machine host or physical destination server is licensed for Insight Control.
To add or deploy license keys, you must have Insight Control administrative rights.
The standard procedure for licensing Insight Control server migration is to purchase and apply Insight Control
suite licenses. For more information or to purchase licenses, see
http://www.hp.com/go/insightcontrol .
NOTE: If you attempt to license a server without a valid serial number, then the licensing process might
appear to be successful but the license key is not consumed. To verify the license key is not consumed, select
Deploy
→License Manager→Manage Licenses. The host is licensed only when a valid serial number is
detected by Insight Control.
