Manage Licenses shows only the license categories that can be used. License categories with all licenses
consumed are not listed in this table. Adding the number of licenses in all categories in the Manage Licenses
table might result in a total less than the number shown in the Licenses column of the Product License
Information table.
In the Manage Licenses table, the total number of Licenses Assigned plus Licenses Used might exceed
the number of licenses shown in the Product License Information table. This happens when the license
category is oversubscribed. Systems with assigned licenses from this category might fail to be automatically
licensed when used with the corresponding product. This can occur when a category of license is assigned
to a collection of systems, and then later, the same category is applied to a different set of systems such that
the total exceeds the number of licenses in that category. Un-Assign the licenses assigned to these systems.
Assigned licenses are not bound or locked to systems, and licenses are used on a first-applied basis.
To manage licenses, select a license category, and then click one of the following buttons:
• Add Licenses Enter an individual license key. See “Adding licenses individually” for more
information.
• Adding Licenses from File Enter license keys from a specially formatted key file. See “Adding
licenses from a file” for more information.
• Assign Licenses Assign available licenses to systems. See “Assigning and unassigning licenses”
for more information.
• Un-Assign Licenses Un-Assign licenses from systems. See “Assigning and unassigning licenses”
for more information.
