8.2.2	Grace Period

A product-specific Grace Period Configuration File (<file name>.gpcf) is installed with HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E. If there is no valid license file (Real License File RLF) for the Customer License Agent (CLA) when the HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E license dialog is opened, the CLA automatically generates a grace period license file using the .gpcf file. The grace period licenses can be distributed in exactly the same way as RLF licenses. The only difference is the validity period of the licenses. For a grace period license, this is limited to 30 days.

The .gpcf file ensures that the maximum expansion of all features that are subject to mandatory licensing is possible within the 30-day grace period. The system or systems are not licensed.

The.gpcf file must be stored in the HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E installation directory.

The 30-day grace period begins with the licensing of a standalone system or networked systems using the GPCF file. The licensing of all features, interfaces and products that are subject to mandatory licensing must take place during this period.

The system falls into licensing default if licensing is not performed within the 30-day grace period. This means that features which subject to mandatory licensing will suffer from reduced functionality.

The activation of a grace period is recorded by the Customer License Agent (CLA) and in the system CDB. This ensures that the 30-day period cannot be extended and that a second grace period cannot be started.
