License keys are encoded to authorize use of up to three different products and consequently, the same key might appear up to three separate times in the database assigned to the same system, once for each product licensed by that key. The number of seats permitted by the key are applied in full to each product authorized by the key. A key authorizing five seats and two products authorizes five seats for each of the two products.

Eight types of licenses are available:

  • Free Flexible Quantity. ProLiant Essentials products can optionally ship with one free, permanent license. This key type is the embodiment of that free license. The number of seats permitted by this license depends on the product and the product team. Keys of this type cannot be entered by the user into the License Manager database. The product alone can insert these keys into the database.

  • Flexible Quantity. This license offers full, unlimited functionality for an unlimited time and for a specific number of seats purchased, up to 50,000.

  • Activation Key Agreement. This license offers full, unlimited functionality for an unlimited time. This license represents an expected upper limit on the number of seats, up to 50,000.

  • Demo (seats and time). This license offers full, unlimited functionality for a limited time and a specific number of seats. The license determines the number of days the key allows the product to function. The days begin counting from the day of first use. The key can permit more than one instance of the product to run. Demo keys can authorize up to 255 seats for up to 255 days.

  • Demo. This license offers full, unlimited functionality for a limited time. The license determines the number of days the key allows the product to function. The days begin counting from the day of first use. The key can permit more than one instance of the product to run. Demo keys can authorize use for up to 65535 days.

  • Evaluation. This license offers full, unlimited functionality and is distributed only in special circumstances.

  • Individual. This license offers full, unlimited functionality and represents a single-use key for the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) product.

  • Subscription. This license is a time limited full functionality license. This key can indicate unlimited use for a specified period of time or a limited number of seats for that same period of time.

  • Intrinsic. This license offers full, unlimited functionality and represents a single-use key for the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) product.
