Core Licensing

A core license file is required for the system and is automatically included with new NonStop X
systems starting with L15.02 and later. NS7 systems support 2-, 4-, and 6-core license options.
Anytime you upgrade the level of cores, expand your system by adding server blades, or migrate
the system, you must update your license file. Your service provider is responsible for obtaining
and installing this license on your behalf. You will experience a system alarm and dialout if the
license file is missing from your system.
