NVIDIA GRID License Server Overview
The NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPU combines Tesla and GRID functionality when the licensed GRID features
such as GRID vGPU and GRID Virtual Workstation are enabled. These features are enabled during OS
boot by borrowing a software license that is served over the network from the NVIDIA GRID License
Server virtual appliance. The license is returned to the license server when the OS shuts down.
You obtain the licenses that are served by the GRID License Server from NVIDIA’s Licensing Portal as
downloadable license files, which you install into the GRID License Server via its management interface
(see
Figure D-11 ).
Figure D-11 GRID Licensing Architecture
There are three editions of GRID licenses, which enable three different classes of GRID features. The
GRID software automatically selects the license edition based on the features that you are using (see
Table D-3 ).
