OVERVIEW
HP JetAdvantage Security Manager requires licenses to be installed in order to assess and remediate
devices. Devices can be discovered without licenses installed, but in order to run assessments and
remediations on those devices, licenses must be installed in Security Manager. This document will
describe the different types of licenses that can be obtained, how to install them, and how to
troubleshoot if issues arise.
LICENSE TYPES
Limited Assessment Only License
When HP JetAdvantage Security Manager is downloaded and installed for the first time, a 20 device
“limited assessment only” license is included. This license allows for assessments only (no
remediations) on up to 20 devices using only the HP Security Manager Limited Policy. Other policies
cannot be used, edited or created. This HP Security Manager Limited Policy contains a minimal
amount of security related features to obtain a quick look at how secure the fleet is.
Trial License
Trial licenses can be downloaded and installed to evaluate all Security Manager features before
purchasing licenses. Trial licenses provide the same functionality in Security Manager as purchased
licenses, but they are generated for a subset of the fleet for evaluation purposes and will expire on a
set date. They are not node-locked to any specific machine, thus they can be used anywhere, but
they will expire in the designated time period. The default trial license can be downloaded to
evaluate 25 devices for a period of 60 days.
Purchased License
Purchased licenses are node-locked to a specific machine and can only be used on that Security
Manager installation, but they will never expire. A purchased license file must be ordered with the
exact match of the Security Manager server MAC address. The web interface when activating a
license entering a mac address explains that the mac address must be entered in the following type of
format: 00-00-00-00-00-00 if a mistake is made entering it. Case sensitivity does not seem to
matter, upper or lower case characters should work. The HP Print License manager will fail to operate
properly without an exact match of the mac address. If using VMWare, make sure the appropriate
virtual adapter MAC address is used. VMWare recommends a static MAC assignment to
accommodate software licensing scenarios. Node licenses are sold in stackable tiers of 10, 50, 250,
and 1000 nodes. When licenses are ordered, the network adapter MAC address of the server or pc
hosting the Security Manager service must be provided. If the server is virtual, the virtual adapter
MAC address must be provided. Once a license file is installed, the HP Print License Service begins
tracking license assignments on a per device basis.
INSTALLING LICENSES
The installation of licenses is a very simple process. Whether installing trial or purchased licenses,
simply select File, Settings in Security Manager and click on the Licenses tab.
