Generating licenses
IMPORTANT:
• The product license entitlement certificate includes a registration number, which is a unique iden-
tifier 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 enti-
tlement 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.
• You can generate Permanent licenses for the unmonitored XP or P9000 disk arrays and install
them on P9000 Performance Advisor. However, the license details for those unmonitored arrays
appear in the View License Status section of the License screen, only after you collect their config-
uration data.
To generate a Permanent license:
1. Access the HPAC license key website, http://webkey.external.hp.com from your web browser.
The Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center license key web page appears.
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.
4. Click Next >>.
The Array information input screen appears. The following details are displayed:
• Registration number
• P9000 Performance Advisor base license
• Additional PA LTU that you purchased
• Internal raw disk capacity or usable capacity that the LTU supports
