License activation and rehosting
Licensing requirements
DSS server software does not require a license to operate. A license seat is required for each device
which is managed by DSS. Licenses can come in bundles of 1, 5, 10, 50, and 250 seats. Licenses
can be combined in a DSS server in any combination up to 1000 seats.
Trial license
When DSS is first installed on a new server it comes with a sixty day, fifty seat trial license. If a
purchased license is installed in DSS during the trial period, the trial license becomes invalid and only
purchased licenses will work on that instance of DSS.
When the trial period ends, if no purchased licenses have been added to DSS, the software is unable
to manage or process any jobs from devices.
Auto-generate licenses
The HP 9200C Digital Sender and HP 9250C Digital Sender devices auto-generate licenses after
being added to a DSS server. These are the only two DSS-enabled devices that auto-generate
licenses.
License activation and rehosting
Purchase DSS licenses from HP or HP authorized resellers. Once purchased, the customer will
receive documentation which includes the Entitlement Order Number (EON). Activate the DSS
license in order to use it by locking the license to a server. DSS licenses are locked to servers by the
server MAC address. The output from locking a license is a license key code which users type into
the DSS user interface to enable DSS to use the license. The EON and the server MAC address are
required to activate a license.
From time to time it may be necessary for a customer to use a license on a server to which it is not
currently locked. The process of changing the server to which a license is locked is called “rehosting.”
Conduct DSS license activation and rehosting via the licensing website:

License Activation and Rehosting”. Access the white paper on the DSS support web site
