Introduction
################################################################################
HP Linux ProLiant Essentials License Manager provides an infrastructure for
maintaining Intelligent Networking Pack - Linux Edition license key codes for 
select software features available on ProLiant servers.  It supports adding 
licenses and displaying the state of all installed licenses on the local system.


Known Issues
################################################################################


None.


Installation
################################################################################
Run the following command to install the HP ProLiant Essentials License  
Manager package:

   rpm -Uvh hp-pel-x.x.x-x.distribution.linux.rpm

Where "x.x.x-x" is the version of HP PEL, and "distribution" is the distribution
identifier.


For the latest driver, firmware, and documentation updates, go to 
http://www.hp.com/servers/networking


Adding INP Licenses
################################################################################
When you have a license, add the license key by running

   /opt/hp/hp-pel/nalicense -a license_string

If you have an old license and are adding a new one, you do not need to 
(and can not) delete the old one.  Just add the new license.


Verification of installed licenses
################################################################################
You can check the status of all currently installed licenses on the system
by running

   /opt/hp/hp-pel/nalicense -d [-l <logfile>]

If you include the -l parameter, all information that would normally be 
printed to stdout will be redirected to the file you specified with <logfile>.


Removal
################################################################################
The database containing your ProLiant Essentials licenses will be 
deleted if this package is removed.  You should make sure your hard-copy
license strings from the Proliant Essentials packaging are available before
removing this package.  Alternatively, you can obtain the license strings by
displaying all licenses on the system (see the Verification section).  Write
them down and keep them in a safe place.

To remove the HP PEL package, run the following command:

   rpm -e hp-pel
