To use a purchased license, it must be added to the HP SIM License Manager database on the
CMS and then applied to a managed system. For more information, see “Adding and applying
licenses” (page 18).
Trial licenses
When Insight Dynamics is installed on the CMS, 10 trial licenses for the HP Insight Dynamics -
VSE suite for Integrity are included in the License Manager database. These licenses can be
applied to HP Integrity and HP 9000 systems. Each trial license is valid for 90 days after it is
applied to a managed system. To continue to manage these systems beyond the trial period,
permanent licenses must be purchased.
These trial licenses can be applied to managed systems by the Insight managed system setup
wizard or by the vselicense command. They cannot be applied through HP SIM License
