Using the license utility
The Deployment Server system provides a license utility to update or add licenses to
installed sites, which lets you apply the license activation key file (.lic file) after Altiris
products are installed. This utility is installed on the Deployment Share during the
Deployment Server installation.
When you open the License Utility, the Altiris Activation Key Wizard appears. On the
Select Altiris Program Files to Activate page, you can select the Replace all
existing license Activation Keys with this new Activation Key check box, which
overwrites the current Activation Key with the one you are installing.
Term Description
AUP - Annual Upgrade
Protection Altiris Annual Upgrade Protection or AUP lets registered
Altiris software users upgrade to any version of the
registered product that is released during the coverage
period without paying an upgrade charge. Regular
production licenses never have a license expiration
date, but always have an AUP date. As long as this date
does not expire, you can use the license to register any
version of Deployment Server.
Licensed Nodes The total number of client and server computers that a
Deployment Server is licensed for. Each client computer
that has an agent, and that communicates actively with
the Deployment Server, uses a single license node.
You can view this information on the About
Deployment Console box. This information appears in
the License Details section when you apply a license
using the Product Licensing Utility.
DS and PCT These are common abbreviations for Deployment
Server and PC Transplant. Both these products are
licensed with the same licensing model, and often a
single license applies to both products at once, although
some licenses apply only to PC Transplant.
Expired License All regular licenses (that are purchased) never expire.
However, evaluation licenses do have an expiration
date. After the expiry date, the trial or evaluation
licenses do not function, and need to be replaced with a
regular license.
