1 Licensing A license enables a server, either a physical server or a virtual machine, to be deployed and managed by the Altiris Deployment Server. One license is required for each server being managed. After a license is applied to a specific server, the license cannot be removed or transferred to another server. A license file contains licenses for a predetermined number of servers. License files are not Rapid Deployment Pack version-specific.
