2.0 Managing Licensing and Certificates

IMPORTANT:Open Enterprise Server includes MLA licenses which have replaced regular server license certificates and user licenses. For more information, see Section 1.1, NetWare 6.5 SP8 Includes MLA License Files.

When you install a NetWare® server, the installation program automatically installs Novell® Licensing Services (NLS) on that server. To manage NLS, you use Novell iManager. For more information on accessing iManager, see the Novell iManager 2.7.3 Administration Guide.

NOTE:The licensing plug-in for iManager is incompatible with the Novell browser found on the server.

NetWare 6.5 SP8 includes licenses for two cluster nodes. Licenses for additional cluster nodes may be purchased separately.

You can also use SNMP to view information about your network and licensing. See Using SNMP.

The following tasks help you manage licenses on your network.
