Licenses
License keys permit the operation of the DSView management software on the hub server. They
also specify the number of managed devices that may be controlled by the software and spoke
servers allowed on a system. Managed devices include physical servers, routers, switches,
firewalls, blade chassis, hypervisor managers, hypervisor servers, virtual machines and any other
target device that can be managed by the DSView software. If a managed device is available
through multiple connection methods, the managed device requires only one license as long as
it is merged into a single connection in the DSView software.
Licenses may also be required to enable additional features. See Table 4.8 for more information.
A demonstration (demo) license key may also be used for a trial period. When the trial elapses,
login attempts will fail. A demo license key may be replaced with another demo license key or
a permanent license. If additional license keys are added during the trial and the demo key
expires, the add-on keys will have to be re-entered when a new license key is installed.
Contact Avocent for information about obtaining licenses.
