Licensing

When you install ZENworks 11 SP4, all products (Asset Management, Configuration Management, Endpoint Security Management, Full Disk Encryption, and Patch Management,) are installed. During the installation, you are asked for a license code to activate the product. If you do not have a license code for a product, you can activate it in the evaluation mode. The evaluation mode lasts 60 days, after which you must either discontinue the use of the product or provide a valid license code. No reinstallation of the software is required when you move from an evaluation license to a full license.

Patch Management is activated for patch downloads only if you provide the patch subscription license key, which you must purchase independently. You can provide the subscription license key during the installation or later through ZENworks Control Center. The Patch Management trial period starts when you activate it. You can choose to activate Patch Management at a later time. The evaluation period will last for 60 days from the day of activation. To purchase a subscription license, see the Novell ZENworks Patch Management Product Website. ZENworks 11 SP4 Patch Management can be installed as a stand-alone product and does not require Configuration Management to be installed.
