Users Guide

NOTE: If the license file is modified or edited in any way, the appliance views it as corrupted and the file will

not work. You can add licenses if you need to add more hosts. Follow the process mentioned above to add

more licenses.

NOTE: If the number of successfully inventoried 11G and 12G servers equals the number of purchased

licenses, you will be blocked from adding 9G or 10G servers to new or existing connection profiles, Edit

existing connection profiles by removing few 11G/12G servers and add 10G/9G instead of them. Create a new

connection profile for the removed 11G/12G servers.
