Apply HPE ITOC licenses

HPE ITOC has three types of licenses:

  • Premium: Enables only the platform resource types
  • Ultimate: Enables both the platform and software resource types
  • InstantOn (used for evaluation and proof of concept): Out-of-the-box Ultimate license with a 20-instance capacity limit.

Feature Support

  • InstantOn: Using LDAP and non-seeded organizations with an InstantOn license is restricted.
  • Premium or Ultimate: When a Premium or Ultimate license is applied, it overrides the InstantOn license. If you have both Premium and Ultimate licenses applied and both are valid, both are active at the same time. When Premium or Ultimate applied licenses expire, the InstantOn license again becomes valid.

Apply an HPE ITOC license

  1. Obtain an HPE ITOC license from the HPE license portal.
  2. The license file name must be in the <ITOC*.xml> format; for example, ITOCULT_1.2_00_LTU.xml

  1. Copy the license file to <itoc_install_directory>/license.
  2. Restart your HPE ITOC service (see Start, stop, and check service status).

Typical use case:

  1. Customer A installs HPE ITOC with the InstantOn license. With this license in effect, Customer A can add a maximum of 20 platform resources, and manage unlimited software resources through these 20 platform resources.
  2. Customer A then buys an Ultimate license with 100-platform capacity. With the Ultimate license, Customer A can add 80 more platform resources and unlimited software resources on all 100 platform resources. Customer A decides to associate software resources to 90 platform resources.
  1. Customer A then buys a Premium license with 100-platform capacity, bringing total platform capacity to 200. Customer A can add 100 more platform resources, but new software resources can be added only to the 90 resources that have software resources associated or to any of the 10 platform resources that remain of the total of 110 platform resources. Once Customer A has 100 platform resources with attached software resources, his attempt to add a software resource on the 101st platform resource (with no software attached) will error out.
