Generating licenses
IMPORTANT:
• XP Performance Advisor entitlement certificate is generic. The registration number included in the
entitlement certificate can be used to generate a permanent license for any XP array serial number.
After the registration number is used for a given XP array serial number, it cannot be further as-
sociated with another XP array serial number.
• You can generate permanent licenses for unmonitored XP arrays and install them on XP Performance
Advisor. However, the license details for those XP arrays appear in the View License Status section
of the License screen, only after you perform configuration collection for those XP arrays.
To generate a Permanent license:
1. Access the HPAC license key website, http://webkey.external.hp.com from your Internet browser.

lection in the list.
