Add a license key to the Appliance

You can purchase standalone licenses and add them to the appliance so they can be applied to licensed instances (for example, servers). You can also add your existing licenses to the appliance.

HPE OneView requires a license for each instance that it manages.

Prerequisites

  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator, Server administrator

  • You have at least one license key

  • You activated and registered your new standalone licenses at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise licensing portal
