The HP OneView management appliance controls licenses. The same management appliance can be used for both
HP OneView Advanced licenses and for HP OneView Standard. This choice is made by the user when they initially add their
system to the HP OneView management appliance.
• HP OneView Advanced provides full-featured licenses which can be purchased for managing Gen8 and Gen9 servers.
All HP OneView Advanced versions are licensed “per physical server” regardless if the server is virtualized or not.
(Each physically-managed node will require a license.) These licenses include three years of 24x7 Technical Support and
Updates (TS&U) with Web-based training (WBT) to build basic product proficiency. Full HP OneView Advanced licenses
also provide “integrated licensing” rights-to-use HP Insight Control at no additional charge. Trial versions of HP OneView
Advanced can be used for 60 days without charge.
• HP OneView Standard can be used for inventory, health monitoring, alerting, and reporting without additional fees.
HP OneView Standard can monitor G6, G7, Gen8, and Gen9 servers. The user interface is similar to the HP OneView
Advanced version, but the software-defined functionality is not available. An annual 9x5 support offering is available for
additional fee.
