HP MFP Sending Software 4.9X manual Trial license, Licensing requirements, Auto-generate license

Trial license

When DSS is installed for the first time, you have the option of entering a license number or using the software on a 60-day evaluation basis. During the evaluation period, the software can support up to 50 Digital Sending-enabled devices. When the trial period expires, the software becomes inactive until a license is installed.

Licensing requirements

The Licenses section of the Configuration Utility General tab contains a Trial License entry where new licenses must be added. The remaining trial period also appears on that tab.

DSS is available in five different seat configurations.

Seats	Part Number
1	T1936AA#UA0
5	T1936AA#0AD
10	T1936AA#0A9
50	T1936AA#0AA
250	T1936AA#UD6

Each seat enables Digital Sending features on one device. As many licenses as needed can be installed to in order to accumulate seats.

Click Add on the General tab to type a new license key code for the HP Digital Sending Software.

Auto-generate license

The HP 9200C Digital Sender and HP 9250C Digital Sender devices auto-generate licenses after being added to an existing licensed DSS server. These are the only two DSS-enabled devices that auto-generate licenses.

Node Locking

Purchased licenses can be applied only to a specific DSS server. The node-locking process combines the license certificate with a unique ID from the DSS server. The unique ID appears on the About tab of the Configuration Utility as the MAC Address. This ID appears during and after the trial period. To activate the license certificate, record the MAC Address that appears on the About tab of the Configuration Utility and proceed to the HP Software License Manager Website at licensing.hp.com. At this Website, type the license certificate number and the MAC address. The Software License Manager activates licenses based on information located on the purchased license
