Product Description

Novell ZENworks 11 SP4 Configuration Management provides comprehensive management of servers and workstations, collectively referred to as devices. The architecture is built on Web services technology and provides industry-leading desktop, laptop, and handheld server management, all administered through a Web browser. It uses a single adaptive agent for all services and uses a database to store all ZENworks information while still leveraging your corporate directory for user-based management. By using LDAP, ZENworks 11 SP4 can natively provide both device-based and user-based management to the existing directory customers (both Novell eDirectory and Microsoft Active Directory) without the need to migrate and manage the user objects.

Licensing

When you install ZENworks 11 SP4, all products (Patch Management, Asset Management, Configuration Management, and Endpoint Security 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.
