8 HMP Release 1.5 for Linux Software Installation Guide — August 2005
Installation Overview
Once you have installed the HMP Software and downloaded a license file
1
to your computer, you
must activate the license on the target system using the License Manager. The License Manager
offers both a menu interface and a command line interface (CLI). The Intel NetStructure Host
Media Processing Release 1.5 for Linux Licensing Manager Administration Guide describes how
to obtain and use license files, and the various tasks you can perform with the License Manager.
You can try out the HMP Software with a verification, evaluation, or trial license before you
purchase a permanent, production license from Intel. If a license file is lost or damaged, you can
obtain an emergency replacement for it. Table 1 shows the types of licenses available for use with
HMP Software.
For more information, refer to the Intel NetStructure Host Media Processing Release 1.5 for Linux
Licensing Manager Administration Guide.
1. A verification license is installed with the HMP Software, activated and ready to use, but this license
is only intended to be used for verifying that the HMP Software installation was successful (see
Section 2.5, “Running the Verification Demo”, on page 15).
