Q1. How can I get help to get Insight Control up and running?

The HP Insight Control Installation & Startup Service provides for the deployment and basic configuration of HP Insight Control on a supported ProLiant ML, ProLiant DL, or BladeSystem server. Other performance review and optimization services are also available from HP Services to get the most out of your Insight Control investment.

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.
