NOTE: NAT devices may not be connected between the Rack Power Manager server and any managed
appliances.
Licenses
License keys permit the operation of the Rack Power Manager 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. 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 Rack Power Manager software.
Licenses may also be required to enable additional features. See Table 5.7 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.
To display license information:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click Licenses in the top navigation bar.
3. Click Summary in the side navigation bar. The License Summary window will open. Table
5.7 describes the window fields.
