HP Insight Management 7.3 Getting Started Guide

Each of the following Insight Management components requires a separate license.
• Insight Control
The license redemption process for Insight Control generates separate license keys for the
following:
◦ performance management, power management, server migration, and virtual machine
management
◦ HP iLO Advanced or HP iLO Advanced for BladeSystem
• Matrix Operating Environment
• Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager
License redemption process
The license entitlement certificate directs you to the HP License Key Delivery Service website, which
contains the information you need to redeem your license activation key or keys either online or
through a fax:

The electronic redemption process enables you to easily manage your license activation keys. You
can store or share license activation keys electronically, which not only supports an
environment-friendly approach, but also offers you the convenience of not having to-file away or
discard-confidential paper licenses. And when necessary, you can still choose to print your license
activation keys.
The electronic redemption process also enables HP to automatically register you for Software
Technical Support and Update Services (if they are included in the product you purchased),
eliminating one extra step for you.
Adding and applying licenses to managed systems
After the Insight Management installation process, you will use either the Insight managed system
setup wizard or the Systems Insight Manager license manager to add and apply the license keys
to your managed systems.
Licensing instructions are also contained in the respective user guides for all Insight Management
components as well as at the following website:

components:

When you register for the trial evaluation, you receive a trial license key that enables you to test
and evaluate the software for a 60-day time period on a limited number of managed systems.
When the evaluation period expires, you must purchase additional licenses from HP if you want
to continue using the software.
