Management processor product license keys can be added into the database because they can

be deployed directly to management processors.

NOTE: You cannot enter some types of valid keys if the key already exists in the database.

NOTE: To run License Manager, you must have administrative rights on the CMS (to set, select

Options+Security→Users and Authorizations→User) and choose the Configure CMS Security option,

and the All Tools toolbox (to set, select Options+Security→Users and Authorizations→User) on the

managed systems that you want to license.

Creating a license file

License keys are defined in an XML file with a .key extension. You can create these files. The

format is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KEY>

</KEY>

<KEY>

<PURCHASER>XYZ Company</PURCHASER>

<PRODUCTNAME>Productname</PRODUCTNAME>

</KEY>

</KEYLIST>

The KEYLIST, KEY, and KEYSTRING values are required. The PURCHASER, DATE, PRODUCTNAME,

PRODUCTVERSION, and DISP fields are optional and are not needed if the only purpose is to

load multiple keys. If a key file is provided, the content should be left as is. A minimal file would

have a structure similar to the following, with at least one KEY tag:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
