Notes
• License is valid for six months after it is assigned to a system.
• Does not include license for Matrix OE visualization. Systems with only this license will not be visible in visualization.
Adding and applying licenses
To use a purchased license, you must first add it to the Systems Insight Manager License Manager
database on the CMS, then apply the license to a specific managed system. The CMS keeps track
of how many of each type of license are available to be applied to managed systems. As you
apply licenses, the number of available licenses decreases.
Recommended process: Use the managed system setup wizard
HP recommends using the Insight managed system setup wizard to add and apply licenses for
Matrix OE. To start the managed system setup wizard, select Configure→Managed System Setup
Wizard... from the top menu bar. Help is available in each step of the wizard. For more information
about the managed system setup wizard, see “Using the Insight managed system setup wizard”
(page 20), and the Insight Managed System Setup Wizard Getting Started Guide available from
http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.
Alternative Process: Use HP SIM License Manager
If you choose not to use the Insight managed system setup wizard, you can use Systems Insight
Manager License Manager to add and apply most types of licenses. You can also use License
Manager to view the available and applied licenses for all products in the License Manager
database. To use the License Manager, you must have administrative rights on the CMS.
Some licenses cannot be applied through License Manager:
• Trial licenses can only be applied to managed systems by the Insight managed system setup
wizard or by the vselicense command. For information about vselicense, see “Command
reference” (page 41).
• LTUs from earlier versions of the VSE Management Software for Integrity or from the HP-UX
VSE or DC operating environments are managed using the vselicense command or the
“Scan for HP-UX Licenses” tool. For more information, see “Scan for HP-UX licenses ” (page 19).
Setting authorizations
To add and apply licenses, you must have administrative rights on the CMS, and you must be
authorized for the All Tools toolbox on the managed systems that you want to license. To assign
administrative rights to an HP SIM user, select the Users tab under Options→Security→Users and
Authorizations... and enable the “Configure CMS Security” option. To authorize users for toolboxes,
use the Authorizations tab under Options→Security→Users and Authorizations....
