The Manage Licenses feature enables you to manage licenses for the product selected in the Product License

Information table.

NOTE: The license manager screen is the single location for applying licenses to systems managed by HP

SIM that require licensing. This screen replaces the separate licensing screens for HP Insight Control

Environment, HP Insight Dynamics - VSE, and VSE Management Software that were present in previous

versions.

From the License Manager page, select a product, and then click Manage Licenses. The License Manager

window is updated with information about the available licenses for the selected product, including:

• License Category License type, Duration License.

• Licenses Available The total number of licenses available to assign to systems.

• Licenses Assigned The total number of licenses of the selected type assigned to systems.

• Licenses Used The total number of licenses used by systems. A license is not used until the product is

used on a system. This total includes previously used licenses that have expired.

• Days permitted The total number of days authorized for use by this license (for time-specific licenses).

For BETA licenses, this is the number of days from the date the license was issued. For subscription

licenses, this is the number of days since the license was first used on any target. For all others, it is the

number of days from when the license was first used on the selected target. All uses of this license after

the first use have the same number of days remaining as the target first licensed.

• Days remaining The number of days before the license expires. Some licenses will show Days

remaining as the same as Days permitted because the time to expire is determined when the license is

applied to a target and only relates to that target. Others show an equal or lesser number as the time

to expire is based on the first application of the license or based on when the licenses was issued for

these types of license. With a BETA license, the Days remaining is always less than the Days permitted

even if the license has not been used on a target.

• License Source The source of the corresponding license. This can be:
