Rapid Deployment Pack licensing
Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) is the version of Deployment Server that is released to HP
customers. The RDP licensing functionality is similar to the Deployment Server licensing.
If you have RDP licenses with AUP longer than 3 years the Deployment Solution license
utility might not work. To use these licenses, download the installation files from the HP
Web site. These installation files use a slightly different version of the Product Licensing
Utility, and they allow licenses with long AUP dates.

Finding the number of used licenses
Open the Deployment Console and select Help > About from the main menu bar. You
can see the total number of licenses you have purchased, the total licenses you have
used, and the total licenses available.
You can view the information in the Computers pane to understand for which
computers regular licenses have been applied. In the Computers pane, a clock icon in
the lower left corner implies that the computer still has a free license.

Computers not using a regular license
From the Deployment Console, you can understand which computers do not have a
regular license. If the icon has a clock in the lower left corner of the Computers pane, it
is an HP computer that still has the free 30-day license.
