Cloud Service Automation4.90

Request Software Licenses

CSA version 4.90 requires a software license. CSA licensing is based on the number of operating system instances (OSIs) being used in current, active subscriptions.

After the initial installation of CSA version 4.90, when you log in to the Cloud Service Management Console, a temporary 90-day trial license is activated. Once the trial license expires, you are limited to 25 OSIs. If you created more than 25 OSIs during the trial period, you cannot create any additional OSIs. You can add more licenses at any time to increase your OSI capacity.

The following topics are covered in this section:

Request a software license
Request a software license for a clustered environment
Request a software license for a system with an updated IP address

For information about how to view, add, or delete a license, see the Cloud Service Management Console Help.

Request a Software License

If you received an Electronic Delivery Receipt, use the link to the licensing portal located in the receipt and follow the online instructions to request a software license. Otherwise, to access the licensing portal, go to http://www.hpe.com/software/licensing, enter your Entitlement Order Number, and follow the online instructions to request a software license.

See the Software License Activation Quick Start Guide for more information about requesting a software license.

IP Address Limitations

When you request a software license, you must supply the IP address (IPv4 or Ipv6) of the system on which CSA is installed.

Do NOT use the following IP addresses when requesting a software license:

Loopback address - 127.0.0.1 (IPv4) or ::1 (IPv6)

Request a Software License for a Clustered Environment

If you are configuring CSA in a clustered environment, use the IP address of the load balancer - either the APACHE_IP_ADDR or the LOAD_BALANCER_IP_ADDR (see the examples given in the Cloud Service Automation Cluster Configuration Guide Using a Load Balancer. The license should be installed on only one node in the clustered environment.

Request a Software License for a System with an Updated IP Address

If you change the IP address of the system on which CSA is running, you must request a new software license.

If you immediately add the new license without restarting CSA, the license will not be accepted. You must restart CSA before adding the new license. See Restart CSA for instructions. For more information about managing software licenses, see the Cloud Service Management Console Help.
