SECURITY CENTER 2.0

TECHNICAL BRIEF

HP Print License Service

The HP Print License Service manages the number of devices IPSC is authorized to assess

and remediate. This service installs with the HP Imaging & Printing Security Center software,

and is listed as a separate program. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

The HP Print License Service is the IPSC node license manager, which tracks the purchased

node licenses and their individual assignments to devices targeted for assessment. Node

licenses are sold in stackable tiers of 50, 250, 1000 and 5000 nodes. License tiers are

provided as node locked files that are loaded into IPSC. When ordering licensing tiers, you

must provide the network adapter MAC address of the server or PC hosting the IPSC service.

Once a license tier file is installed, the HP Print License Service tracks license assignments by

device.

Figure 2 provides a snapshot of the HP Print License Manager at work. In this example, a 50

node license file was installed and 5 devices were added to IPSC. The Licenses Used field

at the bottom of the Devices window displays the usage. If device 192.168.1.104 is

deleted from the database, the number of available licenses is incremented by 1 and

licenses used decremented by 1.

Note: Individual licenses are not node locked to the device. When a device with an

assigned license is deleted from the database, that license can be reassigned to another

device.

Figure 2 If the license file is installed prior to adding devices, licenses are assigned automatically with the addition of devices. If devices are added to IPSC before the license file is installed, you must manually assign licenses to the devices.
