IMPORTANT: On HP Integrity server blades, the Advanced Pack license is standard. Remember to save the Advanced Pack license key information that was provided by HP. If you ever need to replace your server blade under warranty, you will need to transfer the key by typing the code on the replacement server blade.

NOTE: A HP ProLiant iLO 2 Advanced Pack license key will not work on an HP Integrity server, and vice versa.

Obtaining and Activating iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack Licensing

A free 30-day evaluation license is available for download on the HP website. The evaluation license activates and accesses iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack features. You can only install one evaluation license per iLO 2 MP. After the evaluation period, an iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license is required to continue using the advanced features. The iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license features automatically deactivate when the evaluation license key expires.

Systems that do not have VGA support all other Advanced Pack license features.

For more information, see the HP website at:

Follow the factory-install or manual install instructions located on the Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack for HP Integrity Servers; Certificate of License to Use; License Installation Card to activate your license.
