Activating licenses
To prevent misuse DSS licenses are protected by node locking technology. This means that licenses
need to be activated before they can be used. Activation occurs by registering the license on the
HP Software License Manager site:
licensing.hp.com.
To register the license the following information is required:
● The License Number found on the Software License Certificate.
Figure 3-1 DSS License Certificate
● The MAC address of the server where DSS is installed (you can find this information in the
About tab of the DSS Configuration Utility).
● Your contact information.
After entering this information into the Software License Manager an activated license key is
generated and delivered to the screen, and via fax or e-mail.
