Introduction
Every XP array that is connected to an instance of XP Performance Advisor should have a valid XP
Performance Advisor license for the XP array internal raw disk capacity that is monitored. XP
Performance Advisor monitors only those XP arrays for which valid licenses are generated and installed
on the management station where XP Performance Advisor resides. You can generate a frame license
of type, Permanent at the Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center (HPAC) license key website, using
the following URL: http://webkey.external.hp.com. You can generate a permanent license for a
specified internal raw disk capacity of your choice and unlimited duration. Each Permanent license
is perpetual, unique to an XP array, and bound to the following:
• XP array serial number
• XP array type
• License capacity purchased
