Viewing product license entitlement certificate for existing customers
The product license entitlement certificate includes a registration number, which is a unique identifier
that helps you to generate a license key for P9000 Performance Advisor. The registration number is
unique to the XP disk array or the P9000 disk array for which it is used and cannot be associated
with another XP or P9000 disk array serial number. The following sets of product entitlement certificates
are available:
• XP entitlement certificates: The registration numbers can be used on XP disk arrays only, such as
the XP24000, XP20000, XP12000, XP10000, XP1024, and the XP128.
• P9000 entitlement certificates: The registration numbers can be used on P9000 disk arrays only.
Based on the license entitlement certificate that you receive, generate and install a Permanent license
for the internal raw disk capacity, or the usable capacity, that you want P9000 Performance Advisor
to monitor.
Generating and adding licenses
To generate and add the Permanent license key file, complete the following steps:
1. Access the Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center (HPAC) license key website, http://
webkey.external.hp.com/ from your IE browser.
2. Click Generate a License Key in the Main Menu section.
The Generate License Key screen appears.
3. Enter the registration number in the Registration Number or Product Authorization Key box. Ensure
that the registration number is same as that mentioned in the product entitlement certificate.
