NOTE: The license manager screen is the single location for applying licenses to systems managed

Control Environment, HP Insight Dynamics - VSE, and VSE Management Software that were present in
previous versions.

Licenses section appears.

For products where licensing information is managed by HP SIM, the Assigning Licenses page
appears. This page lists the selected system's name, serial number, licensing status, operating system,
system type, system IP address, and tool launch ok. Select one or more systems from this list and click
Assign License Now. The page refreshes and shows the updated license status. Select additional
systems to make more assignments, or reselect License Manager to refresh the page. To remove an
assigned license, reselect Manage Licenses. The assigned licenses appear. Select the license category
you want to remove, and then select Un-Assign Licenses.
For products that require the license to be delivered to the actual target, the License Assignment
Results table appears and reports the status of the assignment process for each target. There might
be a delay in sending license data to some targets. You can continue with other HP SIM activities during
the license assignment process. The results window shows the following information:
• System Name. The names of the systems where the task was executed.
• Key. The license keys sent to the target systems. Each key is listed on a separate line. License
details are contained in the key, and each key might enable more than one product.
• Product. The name of the product associated with the use of this key.
• Response Status. The status of the request to send license data to the selected system. If the task
was successful, the following message appears: License assignment successful.
