Importing a license

UCP Advisor ships with a 60-day trial license that provides you access to all UCP Advisor functionality. After your trial period is over, you are prompted for a subscription license file for one of the available editions of the software.

You must import a license file to continue using UCP Advisor after the 60-day trial period expires. The availability of features is determined by the edition of your license. The Foundation Edition provides basic functionality while the Advanced Edition provides complete functionality. For a complete list of features provided by UCP Advisor, see "UCP Advisor features and functionality" in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Advisor Administration Guide.

Your Hitachi representative will work with the Hitachi license team with the above information and purchase order information to provide you with a subscription license key file.
