The License unlicensed systems (optional) page appears when some of the targets selected are not licensed to use this product. Only those targets which are not licensed or licensed with a demo key are displayed.

This page is not directly accessible from the menus. It occurs in a sequence of one or more pages specific to a particular product. The same page is shared by all products using this page, so the page format and operation is the same for all products.

Four buttons are available from this page:

Previous. Click [Previous] to return to a previous page.

Add Key. If you have additional licenses available which are not yet known to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), you can add these keys. If you have a key string, click [Add Key] and enter the key in the Specify a key string field and click [OK]. Only license keys applicable to this product are accepted and added. To add other product keys, use License Manager, Manage Keys (DeployLicense ManagerManage Keys).

Apply License. If there are licenses available for use, select the unlicensed targets you want to license and click [Apply License]. Targets licensed during some form of time limited demo key are also shown. These can be selected but can only be relicensed using a PAID key. After all targets are licensed, this page is not displayed again (in this sequence). If there are targets that are still not licensed or licensed with a demo key, this page redisplays showing the original list of unlicensed targets, indicating which target systems are now licensed and which are not. Selecting to license a target which has been licensed using a demo key will re-license the target with a permanent key, if a key is available. If there are insufficient licenses remaining at the time of the re-license, the demo license remains in force. When licensing, the full licenses (including those included with the product) are used first. If there are systems which remain unlicensed after all these licenses are consumed, any demo key not used to capacity is used if the product permits it. Finally, as other users might be attempting to license other targets for use with the product at the same time, it is possible to select a number of targets equal to the available licenses and yet fail to license some of those targets. A message advises when this has occurred.

Next. If you do not want to license any of these unlicensed targets or at any time after licensing some of those targets, you can continue directly by clicking [Next] provided at least one of the selected targets is licensed. If no selected targets are licensed, the [Next] button is displayed.

Upon successful completion, the number of licenses available should increase by the number of licenses enabled by the key. Those additional licenses are now available for use.

When some or all of the selected targets are licensed using a demo key, those targets appear in the not licensed table with a status of Licensed using a demo key. You can select any of these targets and re-license with a full key at this time. Demo and evaluation keys are not accepted to relicense a system with such a key.
