License Tab

The License tab enables the Platform Administrator to manage HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise licenses.

The License tab of the System Settings screen (see The System Settings Screen) allows the Platform Administrator to view license information and upload a new license file (such as to change the number of allowed instances or to extend the license).


System Settings, License Tab

The following actions are available:

  • To add a license, click Upload license. The File Upload dialog box opens. Navigate to and select a license file to upload.

    Licenses are cumulative.

    For example, if you have two licenses of the same type where one license allows 50 CPU cores and the other allows 30 CPU cores, then you will be able to use up to 80 CPU cores under that type of license.

  • To delete an individual license, in the License(s) table, navigate to the license you want to delete and click the Delete icon (trash can) for that license.
  • To delete multiple licenses, select the licenses you want to delete, and then click the Delete button above the License(s) table.
