Updating Your License
If you have a limited license — for example OpenManage Network Manager may limit discovery to
a certain number of devices— then your application does not function outside those licensed
limits.
You can purchase additional capabilities, and can update your license for OpenManage Network
Manager by putting the updated license file in a convenient directory. Then click License
Management in the Quick Navigation portlet item to open a screen with a button leading to a file
browser (Register License: Select File). Locate the license file, and click the Register License
button. Your updated license should be visible in the License Viewer (See License Viewer on page
63 for details.)
NOTE:
If you update your installation from a previous one where you upgraded license, you must also re-
register those licenses.
You must restart application server or wait up to 15 minutes before a license modification takes
effect. (see Installation and Startup on page 28). Licenses now support three expiration formats:
Never, Date certain, and a format that indicates the license will be valid for a number of days after
registration.

Online Help / Filter

Access general online help by clicking Help in the The Dock at the top of the screen. Help
appropriate to each portlet appears when you click question mark icon on the portlet title bar.
By default, this opens a separate browser window which is not necessarily always in front of the
screen that calls it. Because it is separate, you can arrange the display so the help screen does not
conceal the portlet it describes. Click the Show button to display the contents, index and search
tabs (Hide conceals them again), and the Prev / Next buttons, or clicking table of contents topics
moves to different topics within the helpset.
Sometimes your browser's cache may interfere with help's correct appearance. If you see a table of
contents node without contents, you can often repair it by refreshing the panel or whole screen.
