Licensing for HiPath 3000 V5.0, HiPath 5000 V5.0

Grace Period

A product-specific Grace Period Configuration File (<file name>.gpcf) is installed with Hi-

Path 3000 Manager E. If there is no valid license file (Real License File RLF) for the Customer

License Agent CLA when the HiPath 3000 Manager E-license dialog is opened, the CLA auto-

matically generates a grace period license file using the .gpcf file. The grace period licenses

can be distributed in exactly the same way as RLF licenses. The only difference is that the va-

lidity period of the grace period license is limited to 30 days.

The .gpcf file ensures that the maximum expansion of all features that are subject to mandatory

licensing is possible within the 30-day grace period. The system or systems are not licensed.

The.gpcf file must be stored in the HiPath 3000 Manager E installation directory.

The 30-day grace period begins with the licensing of a standalone system or networked sys-

tems using the .gpcf file. The licensing of all features, interfaces, and products that are subject

to mandatory licensing must take place during this period.

The system falls into licensing default if licensing is not performed within the 30-day grace pe-

riod. This means that features which subject to mandatory licensing will suffer from reduced

functionality.

The activation of a grace period is recorded by the Customer License Agent (CLA) and in the

system CDB. This ensures that the 30-day period cannot be extended and that a second grace

period cannot be started.

If a licensing error occurs, there is a period of 30 days (License Failure Period), within which

the error must be rectified.

If the error has not been rectified by the time the 30-day license failure period has expired, the

systems enter system default mode. This means that features which subject to mandatory li-

censing will suffer from reduced functionality.
