4. If any selected systems are unlicensed or licensed with a time-limited license, you can apply permanent
licenses at this time. If licenses are available, select any unlicensed system in the list to license, and click
Apply License. Server and client licenses are automatically applied to the appropriate systems, if
available. To add licenses using a key string, click Add Key, enter the key string in the field, and then
click OK.
If you select any systems are listed as Unknown or Unmanaged in HP SIM for licensing, a server license
is assumed and automatically applied. HP recommends that you modify the HP SIM settings to properly
identify systems before licensing. Any unlicensed target systems not licensed at this time are not included
in the patch agent deployment.
If one or more target systems can use a VPM client license, and adequate client licenses are not available,
you are prompted to select if you want to apply server licenses (if available) to license the selected client
systems. After you apply a license, the license cannot be revoked or replaced with a VPM client license
later. If all target systems initially selected for the task are licensed with permanent licenses, the license
validation page does not appear.
