How to Deal with License Upgrade from a Previous Version to UCMDB 10.20?

For detailed instructions about upgrading UCMDB, see the Deployment Guide.

The permissive Instant-On License is installed by default and is going to expire in 21 days.

1. Launch UCMDB UI as Admin user.

2. Click the <License status> button on the status bar.

   The License summary report window opens.

3. Check the License summary report.

   • Only Instant-On license is listed even though you have had some licenses installed when you worked with the previous version. The license issued for previous versions are not compatible with UCMDB 10.20 and they are not visible.
   • The UD Full license usage is not yet displayed even if there are discovered OSIs in your UCMDB. This is because they were not touched by Probe 10.20 yet.
   • OSs managed by CM usage displays the number of OSIs belonging to the results of the managed in CM views.
   • The Managed Data Repository (MDR) usage is displayed according to the third party integrations you have in UCMDB.
   • Automated Service Modeling OOTB provides a capacity of 10 service discovery actions, which are always available regardless of what license are installed.
   • The Automated Service Modeling usage is zero. This can be consumed since version 10.20.

   

4. Wait for Probe 10.20 to run discovery.

5. Check the License summary again.

   • The Instant-On license expiring in several days is listed.
   • Universal Discovery Full usage is displayed according to how many discovered operating systems you have in UCMDB.
   • OSs managed by CM usage displays the number of OSs that belong to the results of the managed in CM views
   • The MDR usage is displayed according to the third party integrations you have in UCMDB.
   • Automated Service Modeling OOTB provides a capacity of 10 service discovery actions, which are always available regardless of what license are installed.
   • The Automated Service Modeling usage is zero. This can be consumed since version 10.20.

   

1. Install the licenses issued for UCMDB 10.20, according to the contract you already have, by using JMX Console > Licensing Services > addLicense.

   When installing licenses, the Instant-On is overwritten.

   For details, see .

   

2. Check information about licenses details by using the getAllLicenses method of Licensing Services from the JMX console.

   

3. Check information about licensed capacity by using the getLicenseSummary method of Licensing Services from the JMX console.

   

Launch License summary report from UCMDB UI and check the license usage, according to what capacity you are licensed for:

• The installed licenses details are displayed in Available licenses panel.
• UD Full usage – number of OSIs discovered by Full discovery jobs
• UD Inventory usage – number of OSIs discovered by Inventory discovery jobs
• OSIs managed by CM usage – number of OSIs that are managed by CM
• Available third party integrations usage – number of integrations with non Micro Focus products
• Advanced Service Modeling usage – number of service discovery activities
• Oracle LMS – in case you have license for Oracle LMS report
• Foundation – in case you have Foundation license

1. Select Managers > Modeling > Reports. In the Custom Reports pane, click Administration and do one of the following:

   • Right-click Licensed OSIs Report and select Create New Report.
   • Double-click Licensed OSIs Report.
   • Select Licensed OSIs Report and drag it onto the right pane.

2. Review the counted OS instances in the Licensed OSIs Report:

   • OSs that are discovered by UD Full jobs have True in the UD Full column if they are covered by license capacity, "False" if not covered, and "-" if not applicable for the license type.

   • OSs that are discovered by UD Inventory license have True in the UD Inventory column if they are covered by license capacity, "False" if not covered, and "-" if not applicable for the license type.

   • OSs that are managed in Configuration Manager have True in the CM Managed column if they are covered by license capacity, "False" if not covered, and "-" if not applicable for the license type.

   • The Third party licenses tab shows the integration points consuming capacity from the UCMDB third party integration license.

   • The ASM License tab shows the service discovery activities created in UCMDB.

   • If no capacity is consumed from a license type, the relevant column will not be displayed.

   

   

   

When discovering more Operating Systems than you are licensed for, you are still able to use UCMDB Server. However, the server status is Non-compliant.

1. Launch License Summary report to check what exceeded capacity is.

   

2. In order to be compliant, you can install additional license capacity using the addLicense method in the JMX console.

   

3. In the JMX console, invoke the getLicenseSummary method to verify that the licensed capacity is increased.

   

4. Launch License summary report again.

   Now the UCMDB Server status is Compliant.
