Example of customer documentation for licenses purchased after December 2nd, 2013

HP Passport

HP Passport is used by many HP websites to provide users a single sign in mechanism for access to HP resources and information. The licensing web sites use HP passport as their sign in mechanism. The first time you go to one of the licensing sites, if you do not already have an HP Passport account, you can create one. You will be prompted for a set of information but after the initial enrollment all you have to enter for subsequent sign-ins is your HP Passport email and password.

License Activation

Definition

When ordering a license for DSS you will receive documentation that includes an Entitlement Order Number (EON). The number that is entered into the DSS Configuration Utility to utilize a license is known as the license key code. Activation is the process to obtain a license key code from the EON.

Activation Process

Two pieces of information are required to activate a license: the EON and the MAC address of the server on which the license will be used. The MAC address is necessary because DSS licenses are locked to a MAC address.

To get your license key, you will need to register your product on the My HP licensing portal myhplicensing.hp.com. Please follow the instructions below.

Step 1

Sign-In: Go to the My HP Licensing Portal and sign in using your HP Passport user account Email & Password. If this is your first time you will need to create a new user account as highlighted.
