Adding Licenses

Prerequisites

  • You have purchased a license and obtained the license file.

    To purchase a license, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

  • If this is an HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise Essentials deployment, ensure that you have HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise Essentials license. Except for the HPE Ezmeral Instant-On license, after license that includes the full-featured HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise license is applied, the deployment cannot be changed to HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise Essentials.

  • Required access rights: Platform Administrator

About this task

Tyipically, you add a license to do one of the following:

  • Replace a trial license, such as HPE Ezmeral Instant-On with a purchased license
  • Renew an existing or expired license
  • License additional features, such Spark or ML Ops features
  • Increase the number of licensed CPU cores

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.

CAUTION

If the HPE Ezmeral Instant-On and all other evaluation licenses expire before before a purchased license has been applied, then the deployment will go into lockdown mode (see Lockdown Mode). The Platform Administrator will not be able to exit lockdown mode until a purchased license is applied.

  1. Open the System Settings screen, and then select the License tab.
