HP-UX License and Support
Chapter 6 95
HP-UX License and Support
You do not initially pay for HP-UX license and support fees on an Instant
Capacity cell board.
When you license a cell board, you must additionally pay for the
incremental HP-UX license and support costs for each processor that is
activated. That is, the HP-UX license and support costs are based on a
“per active processor” basis and not included in the licensing of the cell
board.
If activation of an Instant Capacity cell board does not increase the
number of active processors, then you do not have to pay any
incremental HP-UX license and support fees.
Your system must be properly licensed for the HP-UX Operating
Environment (OE) when activating the Instant Capacity cell board.
Software licenses for third party software may also be needed. Check
with your application software vendor for licensing requirements.
