Viewing Cumulative Licenses

Use the View Cumulative License feature to view the complete number of elements the management server supports at the current time. The software adds up the number of licensed components from the licenses and takes into account the expiration date. See Table 14 on page 167 for more information about the licensing capacities displayed.

IMPORTANT: You cannot modify the license file, since it is encrypted. If you want to increase the number of elements the management server is allowed to manage, follow your organization’s procedures to contact your support representative.

To view cumulative licenses:

1.Select Deploy > Storage Essentials > License Manager > Manage Storage Essentials Keys in HP Systems Insight Manager or select Security > Licenses in HP Storage Essentials.

2.Select View Cumulative Licenses.

The properties for the cumulative licenses are displayed:

Notice in the Cumulative License window that each feature has a property that is set to either true or false. If a value for a property is set to true, your license lets you access that feature. Likewise, if the value is set to false, the license does not let you access that feature.

You can determine how many elements your licenses supports by looking at the Current Usage Summary table at the bottom of the page. The cumulative number for each type of licensed capacity is displayed in this table.
