Licensing

A license allows a server to be deployed and managed by the Altiris Deployment Solution. One license is required for each server being managed. After a license is applied to a specific server, the license cannot be removed or transferred to another server.

A license file contains licenses for a predetermined number of servers. License files are applied without reference to the RDP version and are not specific to RDP ”Windows Edition or RDP ”Linux Edition, as long as the one license per server requirement is met.

The RDP offers five license purchasing options:

• 1-node license : Use this license to deploy and manage one server through the Deployment Server.

• 10-node license : Use this license to deploy and manage 10 servers through the Deployment Server.

• Flexible Quantity license : These kits are available to obtain an exact quantity of licenses in the purchase of a single software option kit.

• Activation Key Agreement : This option provides the ability to order a key in the quantity desired and for a specific time, and purchase a license for each server deployed over time.

• Blade enclosure bundle : A bundle of 8 or 20 licenses are available with a ProLiant BL server enclosure.
