Intelligent Networking Pack licenses Each server requires a separate INP license. When installed on the system, the license is "attached" to the server and cannot be revoked. The license will stay with that server for the life of the server. The license is associated with the server's serial number, so a change in the server's name or IP address will not invalidate the license. One INP license enables all INP features on the server. Four categories of INP licenses are available. Each license offers full, unlimited functionality. • Single license pack-Authorizes one licensed seat. • Flexible Quantity license pack-Authorizes the set number of licensed seats ordered. • Activation Key Agreement license pack-Allows you to authorize additional licensed seats under the terms of a signed and implemented Activation Key Agreement (AKA) only. • Demo-Allows you to evaluate the features for a set number of seats and a set number of days Installing an Intelligent Networking Pack license INP-Windows Edition licenses can be installed through the following: • HP ProLiant Essentials Network License Manager, which can be launched through one of the following: o HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU) (release 7.71 and higher) o HP Virus Throttle for Windows Utility installation • HP ProLiant Essentials Network License Manager (nalicense) Overview 5
