We have a SmartCenter Pro unlimited IP license on R55. It also has a SmartDefense license and 500 SecureClient licenses. It uses central licensing and manages an IP530 primarily. SmartCenter Pro does come with a Management HA license.
We also have an IP120 that was purchased about a year earlier that has a 5 IP license, no SmartDefense and no SecureClient licenses. It used to have its own management server.
We moved the IP120 management on to the SmartCenter Pro a few months ago to free up the Windows 2000 server license it used. The IP120 had its license moved to the SmartCenter Pro central licensing.
If I'm reading the KB articles correctly, we only need the one HA license on the SmartCenter Pro to implement management high availability. Since we have a license for SmartCenter for the management server that used to manage the IP120, it appears we can use its license as a secondary management station to the main SmartCenter Pro. Is this correct?
The part that concerns me is where the articles say that the secondary management server must have the same "feature set" licenses. Does this mean we have to buy another SmartDefense license and another 500 SecureClient licenses to put on the secondary management station?
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
