Activating Insight Control server provisioning

Licensed customers must activate Insight Control server provisioning by registering and receiving a key from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Licensing website and entering the key in the Insight Control server provisioning UI.

Until you activate Insight Control server provisioning, an Activate link is displayed in the Recommended actions list in the Help panel.

You only have to activate Insight Control server provisioning one time; once Insight Control server provisioning is activated, the link is removed from the Recommended actions list.

To activate Insight Control server provisioning

  1. Log into the appliance from a browser.

  2. Click in the banner to open the Help panel and select the Activate link in the Recommended actions list.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: If Insight Control server provisioning has already been activated, the link no longer appears in the list of Recommended actions.


  3. From the Activate Insight Control server provisioning screen, click the link to acquire the activation key.

  4. A new web page opens to display the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Licensing website. Sign in to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Licensing website using your HPE Passport credentials. If you are already logged in to HPE Passport, you will not be asked to sign in again. Your HPE Passport credentials and associated email address are used for issuing the activation key.

  5. Once the Product Activation screen is displayed, you should see that the Entitle Order Number (EON) field is pre-populated with the correct EON. Click Next.

  6. In the next screen you Designate an Activatee. Retain the default selection: I am activating for myself. Click Next.

  7. The following message appears, and the license files are sent to the owner of the credentials used in Step 4.

    Activation Complete. Your license files have been emailed to: <email address>.

    You do not need to click Email because the files are automatically sent. This button just enables you to send the files to a different email address.

  8. Obtain the activation key from the email. The email contains a zip file. Open the zip file and extract the txt file and copy the activation key to paste into the Insight Control server provisioning UI.

  9. Enter the activation key on the Activate Insight Control server provisioning screen.
