HP Insight Control for Linux 7.0 Installation Guide

1.3 Licensing
Insight Control for Linux uses the Systems Insight Manager License Manager as its licensing model.
When you purchase Insight Control for Linux, you receive a license entitlement package that
describes how to retrieve your Insight Control for Linux license keys. The license redemption process
generates the license keys for Insight Control for Linux and the license keys for the HP Lights-Out
100i Advanced Pack, another product in the HP Insight Control family of core products. The HP
Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack provides you with the use of virtual media. Using Lights-Out 100i
Advanced Pack, you can perform essential server hardware management and system administration
without physically visiting the server.
These keys enable full functionality of the product, including Insight Control power management,
Insight Control virtual machine management, and virtual media. Your Insight Control for Linux
license key might contain one or more licenses.
One Insight Control for Linux license is required on each server you want to manage and monitor
with Insight Control for Linux, and an iLO Advance Pack license is required to use virtual media
instead of PXE to remotely deploy a Linux OS to a managed server. For successful operation, both
keys must be applied to each managed system.
At the appropriate point in this document, you will follow a procedure to add the license keys to
Systems Insight Manager.
Obtaining a free trial license
The Free Trial button on the Insight Control for Linux product website (http://www.hp.com/go/
ic-linux/) downloads an Insight Control for Linux ISO image for a trial evaluation period. If you
register for the trial evaluation, you receive a trial license key that enables you to test and evaluate
Insight Control for Linux for a limited time period on a limited number of managed systems.
The trial license key delivers evaluation keys for the same HP products that are included on a
purchased Insight Control for Linux product license.
At the appropriate point in this document, you will follow a procedure to add the trial license key
to Systems Insight Manager, which enables you to use Insight Control for Linux and its integrated
HP products.
After the evaluation period expires, you must purchase additional Insight Control for Linux licenses
from HP if you want to continue using the product.
