You do not initially pay for HP-UX license and support fees
on an Instant Capacity cell board.
When you license a cell board, you must additionally pay for
the incremental HP-UX license and support costs for each processor
that is activated. That is, the HP-UX license and support costs
are based on a “per active processor” basis and not
included in the licensing of the cell board.
If activation of an Instant Capacity cell board does not increase
the number of active processors, then you do not have to pay any incremental
HP-UX license and support fees.
Your system must be properly licensed for the HP-UX Operating Environment
(OE) when activating the Instant Capacity cell board. Software licenses
for third party software may also be needed. Check with your application
software vendor for licensing requirements.
