* Spindle based licensing on HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 Storage will be available till 10/31/2013 only

In the spindle based licensing approach, there is a different SKU available for each combination of drive capacity and drive type. Based on the specific drives being purchased for a HP 3PAR Storage system, the corresponding software SKU needs to be purchased. This purchase should be done for all the drives on the system irrespective of the number of drives or nodes or capacity of the system

In the simplified spindle based licensing approach, every software title has a Base LTU which needs to be purchased once for a system. For every drive or drive magazine added to the system thereon, a drive LTU (for 7000) or a drive magazine LTU (for 10000) has to be purchased for the system respectively. The drive LTU or the drive magazine LTU for a particular platform is a single SKU irrespective of the drive type or drive capacity. Furthermore, based on the type of HP 3PAR Storage system, there is a specific number of drives beyond which any software title is not required to be purchased for that system. Please note that HP 3PAR Software suites are available only in the form of simplified spindle based licensing approach. The following table shows the maximum drive limits for each of the HP 3PAR Storage systems that support the simplified spindle based licensing approach:
