HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Version 9.x

6.3 HP-UX and OpenVMS License and Support
You do not initially pay for HP-UX and OpenVMS license and support fees on an Instant Capacity
cell board.
When you acquire the usage rights for a cell board by purchasing the cell board RTU product,
there is an additional cost for the incremental HP-UX or OpenVMS license and support for each
core that is activated. That is, the HP-UX or OpenVMS license and support costs are based on a
“per active core” basis and are not included as part of the cell board RTU.
If activation of an Instant Capacity cell board does not increase the number of active cores, then
you do not have to pay incremental HP-UX or OpenVMS license and support fees.
Your system must be properly licensed for the HP-UX or OpenVMS Operating Environment
(OE) when activating the Instant Capacity cell board. You might also need software licenses for
nonproprietary software. Consult your application software vendor about licensing requirements.
