Rgs Products; Figure 2-3 Dialog Generated When The Rgs Sender Is Unlicensed - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

purchase, for example, 75 licenses but support a user community of perhaps hundreds of users as long as
no more than 75 users ever attempt to establish an RGS connection simultaneously. Floating licenses
require a license server, which can be installed on one of the computers running the RGS Sender, or the
license server can be installed on a separate computer. The RGS product includes a setup.exe file that
installs the license server—see the HP Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide, available at
www.hp.com/support/rgs_manuals, for further details.
IMPORTANT: Prior to installing the RGS Sender license, you can still establish a connection from the Local
Computer to the Remote Computer, and can interact with the Remote Computer desktop. However, in the
absence of a license, the dialog shown in Figure 2-3 will be generated by the Remote Computer, and
displayed in the window on the Local Computer that is showing the Remote Computer desktop.

This dialog cannot be moved or closed. Once the RGS Sender is licensed, the above dialog will no longer be
displayed.
