About Instant-on license on HPE XP7 PA installation

The Instant-on license or the trial license is provided with every instance of PA. By default, this license is
automatically enabled when you install PA. The following are important notes on the Instant-on license:
• It is either valid for a period of 120 days from the day you install PA or until the time you generate, and
install a new license for one or more monitored XP or XP7 disk arrays. It cannot be generated from the
HPEAC license key website. For more information on adding licenses, see Grace period expiration
on page 45.
Consider the following example, where HPE XP7 Performance Advisor is installed on 20th Aug'09 and
monitoring five arrays (combination of XP and XP7 disk arrays). The Instant-on license is enabled on
the same date and valid until the 19th Dec'09. If you add two more XP disk arrays on 31st Aug'09 for
which configuration data is collected, the XP disk arrays are still monitored in the current Instant-on
license mode only. The Instant-on duration of 120 days is not calculated separately for the additional
two XP disk arrays.
