If you have installed XP Performance Advisor v4.6, you are provided with an Instant-on license, which
is automatically enabled when XP Performance Advisor v4.6 is installed. The Instant-on license or the
trial license is provided with every instance of XP Performance Advisor. It is valid for a period of 120
days (from the day you install XP Performance Advisor) after which a grace period of 60 days is
provided. During the 120 days tenure or the 60 days grace period, you must generate a Permanent
license at the HPAC license key website for each monitored XP Disk Array, and install the license key
on XP Performance Advisor.
If you have upgraded XP Performance Advisor from a pre-4.5 version to v4.6, XP Performance Advisor
enters an Instant-on period of 120 days after the upgrade process is completed.
If you have upgraded XP Performance Advisor from v4.5 to v4.6, and:
• If XP Performance Advisor was in the Instant-on period, it continues to be in that state after the
upgrade, until the Instant-on period expires or you generate a permanent license for the monitored
XP disk arrays.
• If XP Performance Advisor was in the grace period, it continues to be in that state after the upgrade,
until the grace period expires or you generate a permanent license for the monitored XP disk arrays.
