License Management
A.1 Overview
The permissions to use any Artesyn value-added software module is granted based on the
licenses installed on hardware where it is running. To purchase license for a particular software
module and to get required instructions to use that module, contact Artesyn Sales team.
A license is node or blade locked, that is, it cannot be copied and used on another blade to
enable the value-added software module. You can obtain license for a module on a specific
blade and place the license on that blade. On reboot, the license is authorized and the module
is functionally enabled.
1. Sales enter the order to buy "N" number of licenses.
2. This triggers configuration of licenses in License Server and generates the product key.
3. You will receive a product key via E-mail.
4. Use the product key to generate fingerprint.
5. Upload the fingerprint information to the server to get the activation record (license key).
