HP ThinPro 7.1 - Administrator Guide

Hovering over the systray icon gives information about active licenses found on the system. A right-click will
launch the System Info app with the License tab selected.
Notications
Notications might pop up above the system tray icon periodically.
Courtesy notications warn when a support license or a trial license is approaching expiration. You can disable
courtesy notications through certain registry settings. See Registry keys on page 79 for more information.
Other notications warn of licensing errors such as expired, missing, or invalid license les. You cannot
disable these types of
notications.
System information
The Software License Tab of the System Information application shows both the overall licensing state of the
system and details on each license le found on the system, including start and end dates, license count,
license serial number, and other information.
Desktop background watermark
Watermark text is displayed on the desktop background with a trial license or with an expired or invalid
combination of licenses. You cannot disable this watermark text.
System update tools
If a system is not auto-licensed and it does not have an active support license, the patches and upgrades
shown by Easy Update and other system-update tools will be limited.
Royalty-bearing software
Some software used by ThinPro has royalties attached. An example is any feature using H.264 video
decoding. If the system is not auto-licensed and no valid unit license is found on the system, royalty-bearing
software will be disabled. Trial licenses do not enable royalty-bearing software.
Connections
If no valid license combination is found on the system, the ability to create remote connections to other
systems might be limited or disabled.
