A.1 Understanding AppManager License Keys

NetIQ Corporation offers evaluation and production licenses for AppManager. An evaluation license allows you to install all AppManager components with full functionality and is time limited. For more information about installing AppManager for evaluation purposes, see the Trial Guide for AppManager, available on the AppManager Documentation page.

When you purchase AppManager, you receive a permanent license key that replaces the evaluation key and identifies the components you purchased.

Because AppManager modules also require license keys, you will receive multiple keys to enter during AppManager installation. For example, if you purchase the base AppManager product and a 50-server license for monitoring Microsoft Windows, you receive two license keys: one for the base product and one for the AppManager for Microsoft Windows module. For more information about importing multiple license keys from a file, see Section A.3, Importing License Keys from a File.

If you purchase additional AppManager components after installation, use the AppManager License Manager to update the license information. For more information about updating license information after installation, see Section A.5, Adding and Deleting a License Key.
