Licenses properties (array-wide)

The Licenses Properties panel of Array Manager is in two parts:

• the top part allows you to see and manage your Secure Global Desktop license keys; and
• the bottom part shows a summary of what's licensed by the key.

License management

The license management part of the panel shows all the license keys currently installed in the array. The keys apply to all array members. When you move your mouse pointer over a license key, a tooltip displays which shows a breakdown of what's licensed by the key.

You can add and remove license keys in this area:

• To add a license key, type or paste the key into the empty boxes.
  
  As you type the last character in the key, the key is validated and becomes active.
• To remove a key, delete the characters in the key.
  
  When you remove the last character in the key, the key is deleted.

As you add/remove license keys, Secure Global Desktop updates the information in the license summary part of the panel.

If you remove all the license keys, Secure Global Desktop reverts to evaluation mode or expired evaluation mode, depending on how recently you installed the software. You cannot log in to a Secure Global Desktop server when it is in expired evaluation mode. To license a server when it is in expired evaluation mode, you must either add a valid license key (using tarantella license add) or join the server to an array that is already fully licensed.

Array Manager displays any invalid license keys with a red background. This may be for example, because the license key was entered incorrectly.

Licensing summary

The licensing summary part of the panel displays the current licensing status for the array. It shows:

• the Secure Global Desktop product you are licensed to use.
• the current license mode of the array. This is either:
  • Evaluation mode - the end date of the evaluation period displays in brackets.
  • Fully licensed
• a breakdown by license type of what's licensed. For details about license types, see Licensing and Sun Secure Global Desktop Software.
