Viewing Cumulative Licenses

Use 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 15 on page 147 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, contact technical support.

To view cumulative licenses:

1.Click Deploy > License Manager > Storage Essentials > Manage Storage Essentials Keys in HP Systems Insight Manager.

2.Click the View Cumulative Licenses button.

The properties for the cumulative licenses are displayed:

Notice in the Cumulative License window each feature has a property that is either set to 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 management software displays the cumulative number for each type of licensed capacity in this table.

You can determine how many MAPs and/or MALs this license supports by looking at the properties in the license file. However, that can be misleading if you have other licenses that also provide support for MAPs and MALs. It is suggested you look at the cumulative licenses to obtain a total of the MAPs and MALs that are supported.
