HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide

From the License Manager page, select a product, and then click Manage Licenses. The License Manager
window is updated with information about the available licenses for the selected product, including:
• License Category. The type of license. All permanent, paid licenses appear as a single category,
even though you might have purchased several separate licenses. License Manager does not consider
the purchase date.
• Licenses Available. The total number of licenses available to assign to systems .
• Licenses Assigned. The total number of licenses of the selected type assigned to systems.
• Licenses Used. The total number of licenses used by systems. A license is not used until the product
is used on a system. This total includes previously used licenses that have expired.
• Days permitted. The total number of days authorized for use by this license (for time-specific licenses).
For BETA licenses, this is the number of days from the date the license was issued. For subscription
licenses, this is the number of days since the license was first used on any target. For all others, it is the
number of days from when the license was first used on the selected target. All uses of this license after
the first use have the same number of days remaining as the target first licensed.
• Days remaining. The number of days before the license expires. Some licenses will show Days
remaining as the same as Days permitted because the time to expire is determined when the license is
applied to a target and relates only to that target. Others show an equal or lesser number as the time
to expire is based on the first application of the license or based on when the licenses was issued for
these types of license. With a BETA license, the Days remaining is always less than the Days permitted
even if the license has not been used on a target.
• License Source. The source of the corresponding license. This can be:
Purchased. The license was purchased as part of a license agreement.•
• Trial. The license was supplied for trial.
• Status. The status of the use of this license on the named system.
Status messages include:
• OK. The license is valid and in compliance.
• Key not in use. The license is valid but not used.
• No expire date. The license is valid but not used.
• License is fully subscribed. The license key is in full use on this system and consequently,
if used elsewhere as well, might be over subscribed in total.
• License is over subscribed. The license key is overused on this system.
• License trial period has expired. The time limit on a time-limited key has been
exceeded.
• License subscription period has expired. The subscription key has expired.
• Wrong host equipment. The serial number of the target on which this key was found does
not match the serial number contained in the key information retrieved from this machine.
• Updates and Upgrades. Reports level of service associated with this license.
• Technical Support. Reports level of service associated with this license.
The Manage Licenses table shows 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. 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.
