The License Capacity continues to display every day reduction in TB-Days till 02/08/2011 (60th
day). The remaining fields listed in the above table remain the same.
• On 12/12/2010, the License Capacity shows 50TB, –10TB-Days
• On 12/13/2010, the License Capacity shows 50TB, –20TB-Days
• On 02/08/2011, the License Capacity shows 50TB, –590TB-Days
NOTE: If 90TB-Days are completely used in the second half of 12/11/2010, HP XP7 Performance
Advisor enters 60 days grace period on the same day but updates the License screen - License
Status section only after 1:00 PM on 12/12/2010. In this case, the License Capacity shows 50TB,
–10TB-Days on 12/12/2010.
For information on calculating the appropriate TB-Days to end the grace period and also read
additional scenarios, see “Exceeding Meter based Term licensed capacity and grace period”
(page 38).
A Meter based Term license least count is 1TB-Days. By default, fractions of a TB of usable capacity
is considered as 1TB and fractions of a day is considered as one day.
