Log Off User from Resource Scheduler

To schedule when the system will forcibly log off users from their resources, set the timer as instructed below and click Create or Update.

NOTE: A certificate from the domain certificate authority must be installed on the HP SAM website in IIS for this feature to work.

●Auto-ScheduleEvent—To turn it on, check the Enabled box.

●Scheduled Start Date—Select the date when the event is to start.

●Scheduled Time—Select the time when the logoff operation is to run. Check as many as appropriate.

NOTE: The time set here is the time of the HP SAM server. If the resources are in a different time zone from the HP SAM server, you need to adjust this time appropriately.

●Scheduled Day—Pick one of the options below:

◦Daily—Type the number of days after which the event is to recur.

◦Weekly—Type the number of weeks after which the event is to recur and on which day(s) of the week it is to recur.

Licensing

By default (i.e., no license key entered), you are allowed to run up to 30 resources (such as blade PCs). This is meant for evaluation purposes only. For production environments, even for fewer than 30 resources, you must purchase licenses for all resources. There is no expiration date for this evaluation software.

HP SAM licensing is done per resource, not per user. For example, in an environment with 300 users sharing 100 resources, only 100 licensed seats are necessary. If the number of resources exceeds the number of licensed seats, an orange warning banner is shown in the HP SAM administrative console. No functionality is lost in this situation. HP SAM licenses are floating licenses that are not tied to a particular resource.

License keys for HP SAM are encoded with a specific number of seats (resources), a version number, and a Software Assurance (SA) expiration date, if applicable. This information can be seen on the Licensing page described in this section. The version number determines which major HP SAM revision the license is intended to cover. For example, a license key with a version of 2 means it was created for use with HP SAM version 2.X. This license can be used to license resources in any 2.X version of HP SAM. The license will never expire as long as a 2.X version is being used.

Continuing the example above, if HP SAM is upgraded to a 3.X version, the version 2 license will continue to work with any SAM version with an Effective Date (shown at the top of the HP SAM
