1 Licensing

A license enables a server, either a physical server or a virtual machine, to be deployed and managed by
the Altiris Deployment Server. One license is required for each server being managed. After you apply a
license to a server, you cannot remove or transfer the license to another server.
A license file contains licenses for a predetermined number of servers. Purchased license files are not specific
to Rapid Deployment Pack versions.
To view the number of licensed nodes from the console, click Help>About.
