Intelligent Networking Pack licenses

Each server requires a separate Intelligent Networking Pack (INP) license. Once installed on the
system, the license is "attached" to the server and cannot be revoked. The license stays with that
server for the life of the server. The license is attached to the server serial number, so a change
in server's name or IP address will not invalidate the license. One Intelligent Networking Pack
license enables all INP features on the server.
INP license types include:
• Single: provides full, unlimited functionality for a single seat (license).
• Flexible Quantity: offers full, unlimited functionality for an unlimited time and for a specific
number of seats purchased, up to 50,000.
• Activation Key Agreement: 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: provides 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 250 seats for up to 250 days.
After the license key is installed on the system, the advanced features are activated and ready
for configuration through the Network Configuration Utility (NCU) and several command line
scripting utilities. In addition, Virus Throttle can also be installed following the installation of
an INP license.
