Licensing systems
Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack requires one license for
each target system being managed.
IMPORTANT: After a license is applied to a specific system,
the license cannot be removed or transferred to another
system.
IMPORTANT: On a physical Vulnerability and Patch
Management Pack kit, the license key is located on the
back of the kit.
IMPORTANT: On a physical Insight Control Environment kit, a
combined license key covering multiple ProLiant Essentials is
located on the back of the kit.
Five fully functional permanent licenses are provided with
Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack for evaluation purposes.
These licenses are available after Vulnerability and Patch
Management Pack is installed and can be applied to systems from
