How to choose a software license

A software license in this category is ordered the same way as any other part: by the exact part number printed on the listing, not by a general description of what it does. Of the 11,847 listings here, 176 carry a listed price. Every other listing carries a Request for Quote button. HP, HPE, Aruba Networks, Juniper, Fortinet and other vendor part numbers cover operating system licenses, virtualization and gateway subscriptions, management and monitoring suites, feature keys for controllers, switches and arrays, and per-user client access licenses.

The unit named on the listing decides the quantity you need, and it isn't the same for every product. Listings here are licensed per device, per endpoint, per switch, per tape library, per user, or by subscription tier, for example a 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps gateway license running 3 or 5 years. Elsewhere in enterprise software the same kind of entitlement is commonly sold per socket, per core, per node, per port or per client.

The listing title also states the license structure. A perpetual license is a one-time entitlement with no built-in end date. A subscription license runs for a stated term, such as 1, 3 or 5 years, and stops working when the term ends unless it's renewed. Other listings state License To Use (LTU), which binds the entitlement to a specific piece of hardware. These structures are not interchangeable, so match the exact wording on the listing to what you're replacing.

A feature key doesn't ship you new hardware. It unlocks capability already built into a switch, controller or array you already own, once the key is applied against it. HPE Fabric Vision here is licensed per switch; HPE ClearPass OnGuard is licensed per endpoint. Confirm the exact edition, version and quantity for your hardware before ordering, either online where a price is shown or through a quote request.

121 listings in this category are marked New and 20 are marked Refurbished. For a license, that tag mainly describes how it reaches you, not wear on a part. What matters is the entitlement itself: the edition, the version, and whether it's still tied to the original hardware or a support contract. Transfer, resale and reactivation terms are set by the publisher, not by the reseller, and vary by product. Confirm the terms you need weekdays 8:00 am to 5:00 pm PST at (800) 733-1169.

Software license buying questions

How many software licenses do I need?

The unit stated on the listing: per device, per endpoint, per switch, per tape library, per user, or a subscription tier by throughput. If a listing doesn't clearly state the unit, or your deployment is larger than one listing covers, confirm the count before ordering.

Can I transfer or resell a software license I no longer need?

Terms for transfer, resale and reactivation are set by the publisher, not by the reseller, and they vary by product and by vendor program. Some entitlements are tied to a specific piece of hardware or to an active support contract, and some are not. Confirm the terms for the exact part number through a quote request before you order or attempt to move one.

What does "License To Use (LTU)" mean on a listing?

LTU stands for License To Use: a right to run the software that's bound to a specific piece of hardware, such as a tape library or a storage array, rather than a standalone product installed and registered on its own. The listing title states the exact hardware family the LTU applies to. Confirm the match to your unit before ordering.

What does a switch or controller feature license actually unlock?

It doesn't ship new hardware. A feature license unlocks capability already built into the switch, controller or array you already own, once the key is applied against it. Match the exact edition and unit count, per switch or per endpoint depending on the product, to your hardware before ordering.
