If you do not have a server installed to use as the license server, prior to starting the redemption process, you must define a server hostname to use when redeeming your license file at the HP License Key Delivery Service website (https://webware.hp.com/welcome.asp). Consult your network administrator to follow the particular server naming conventions as well as reserving the name to eliminate possible conflict with existing server names. The name of this server must follow standard Microsoft® server-naming conventions.

The most efficient way to obtain the proper server name from an already existing and running server is to log in to that server, open a CMD prompt, and then enter the hostname command, which returns the hostname in the proper case. Only the hostname is required to retrieve the key, not the fully qualified domain name.

To redeem the license keys for your software and to submit your case sensitive license server name, go to the HP License Key Delivery Service website (https://webware.hp.com/welcome.asp).
