This chapter describes how to obtain the Insight Management distribution media and the installation
documentation, describes the Insight Management licensing model, and how to redeem your license

Step 1: Obtain the Insight Management distribution media
Insight Management is distributed in a physical media kit or as downloadable ISO images from
the HP Software Depot.
The Insight Management physical media kit consists of:

and Systems Insight Manager, Insight Control, Insight Remote Support, and the Virtual Connect
Enterprise Manager software.

You can obtain the Insight Management distribution media by:
• Contacting your HP sales representative
• Contacting an HP authorized reseller
• Purchasing an HP c-Class BladeSystem Enclosure

Step 2: Redeem license keys
When you purchase Insight Management from an HP representative or through an authorized
reseller, you receive a license entitlement certificate that describes how to retrieve your Insight
Management license keys.
A license is required on every physical server you want to manage and monitor with Insight
Management. You are not required to apply a license to the Systems Insight Manager CMS unless
you want to monitor and manage the CMS with Insight Management.
