Managing Licenses

If this is the first time you have installed Nways Manager for HP-UX Version 2.0, you will see the License panel that allows you to register your licensed products or elect to use a demonstration version of the installed Nways Manager components:

If you are installing the Element Management component or the Nways Manager Suite of components, you will be asked to select what version of these components you want to install and enter the number of nodes for which you have purchased a license.

If you have already installed some parts of the Element Manager component or the Nways Manager Suite, and have installed the correct license key, the installation program will complete automatically.

If you have not already installed an applicable license key, you will be taken to the License panel to install the key and complete installation.

Upgrading Your License

If you have purchased a license that allows you to upgrade from a demonstration version of a Nways Manager component, simply run the installation program again, select the component, and enter your customer number and license key number when prompted in the License panel.

This will install the license key, register the product, and save any of the accumulated data.

Increasing the Number of Licensed Nodes

If you have purchased a license allowing you to manage additional nodes using Nways Element Manager, use the following commands to update the node-count associated with your product release:

Determining What Nodes to Monitor

Nways Manager determines what nodes to monitor by the contents of the file nwaysjma.ini. To remove nodes that you do not want to monitor and thus increase the number of other nodes you can monitor with your current license, you can edit this file and remove their entries.

To add nodes that you do want to monitor, edit the file and create entries for them. To do this, you must know their SYSOID.

A copy of this file is created when Nways Manager is installed and named original.nwaysjma.ini. To revert to your original configuration, rename this file nwaysjma.ini.
