Activating Licenses

The VSE Management Software products are licensed on a per-core basis on managed systems. An initial 90-day license per product and per system is automatically included with the software. When a new system is added to your environment, you will have 90 days to evaluate each product on that system.

Before the end of the 90-day trial period, you must purchase and install a permanent License To Use (LTU) for each product that you want to continue to use on each system. Unlicensed systems will not be accessible by the VSE Management Software tools after the initial 90 day trial license expires. A permanent license for Virtualization Manager is automatically included with purchase of the LTU for Capacity Advisor or gWLM.

To purchase the appropriate LTUs contact your HP sales representative, your HP services representative, or your authorized HP reseller. LTUs for HP-UX managed systems are supplied as depot files and are installed using the swinstall command. LTUs for managed systems running Microsoft Windows or Linux are supplied as code keys and are installed using the vselicense command on the CMS. Instructions for using vselicense are provided in the vselicense(1M) manpage.

All LTUs for HP-UX managed systems must be activated after they are installed. Use the following procedure to activate these LTUs:

	IMPORTANT: The gWLM agent software must be running on the managed system in order for the license scan to detect and activate the gWLM trial license. This does not apply to the permanent license.
