Adding licenses from a file

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to add

keys

to the License Manager database by importing

an XML file.

iLO product license keys may now be added into the database as they can be deployed directly to iLO's.

NOTE: There are types of valid keys that you might not enter directly. These include the Free Flexible

Quantity License (FFQL) type keys and keys generated through normal operation of certain products.

License keys are defined in an

XML

file with a .key extension. You can create these files if needed. The

format is as follows. The keylist, key, and keystring values are required.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KEY>

</KEY>

<KEY>

<PURCHASER>XYZ Company</PURCHASER>

<PRODUCTNAME>Productname</PRODUCTNAME>

</KEY>

</KEYLIST>

The PURCHASER, DATE, PRODUCTNAME, PRODUCTVERSION and DISP fields are optional and are not

needed if the only purpose is to load multiple keys. If a key file is provided, the content should be left as is.

A minimal file would have a structure similar to the following, with at least one KEY tag:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KEY>

</KEY>

<KEY>

</KEY>

</KEYLIST>

To add one or more keys to the database from a specially formatted key file:
