Q2. I have been using temporary licenses for Insight Control and now want to replace with the real licenses. Can I just add the good licenses without have to delete the eval license or I have to reinstall Insight Control?
A2. It is not necessary to reinstall Insight Management or iLO firmware if all you want to do is use a production license instead of a trial license. It's simply a matter of applying the production license key. To install the production licenses just follow the two following steps:
  1. Customer adds the real license into License Manager. This will show a new license count for available license.
  2. From the License Manager, run the Manage Licenses on the node where a real license need to applied over the demo license. This should allow the nodes which have demo licenses to be licensed with real license.
