HP Passport
HP Passport is used by many HP websites to provide users a single sign in mechanism for access to HP
resources and information. The licensing web sites use HP passport as their sign in mechanism. The first
time you go to one of the licensing sites, if you do not already have an HP Passport account, you can
create one. You will be prompted for a set of information but after the initial enrollment all you have to
enter for subsequent sign-ins is your HP Passport email and password.
License Activation
Definition
When ordering a license for DSS you will receive documentation that includes an Entitlement Order
Number (EON). The number that is entered into the DSS Configuration Utility to utilize a license is known
as the license key code. Activation is the process to obtain a license key code from the EON.
Activation Process
Two pieces of information are required to activate a license: the EON and the MAC address of the server
on which the license will be used. The MAC address is necessary because DSS licenses are locked to a MAC
address.
To get your license key, you will need to register your product on the My HP licensing portal
myhplicensing.hp.com. Please follow the instructions below.
Step 1
Sign-In: Go to the My HP Licensing Portal and sign in using your HP Passport user account Email &
Password. If this is your first time you will need to create a new user account as highlighted.
