Insight Rapid Deployment software (RDP) is an integrated solution that automates the process of deploying and provisioning server software, enabling companies to quickly and easily adapt to changing business demands.



Licensing options

A license allows a server to be deployed and managed from the Deployment Server Console. One license is required for each server managed from the Deployment Server Console. A license file contains licenses for a predetermined number of servers.

Licenses are independent of the version of the Insight Rapid Deployment software and they do not expire. After a license is applied to a specific server, the license cannot be removed or transferred to another server. Full details are contained in the End User License Agreement.

RDP provides the following licensing options:
  • Fixed-Quantity License Kit - Contains one license (1-Server License Kit) or ten licenses (10-Server License Kit) with a single, unique license activation key, software installation media and documentation.
  • Flexible-Quantity License Kit - The quantity ordered of this part number will be the quantity of licenses included in the kit along with a single corresponding activation key.
  • Bundled licenses with ProLiant Blade servers - 8- or 20-Server License Kits only available with the purchase of an HP BladeSystem p-Class server blade enclosure or an e-Class blade PC enclosure.
  • Activation Key Agreement (AKA) and associated Tracking License - Corporate site license purchased with the active involvement of your HP account manager.
