  How to Register

Registering Data Protector Express

First time installation

All Data Protector Express components need to be registered with the HP License Key Delivery Service to acquire a permanent license key. This is a quick and easy web-based process. It is recommended to register and acquire the permanent license key for the Data Protector Express Backup Server (and any Data Protector Express options purchased) before you start the installation. The HP License Key Delivery Service is at www.webware.hp.com.

The Data Protector Express Backup Server and Data Protector Express options are delivered with a paper Entitlement Certificate. This contains an Order Number that is exchanged, at the License Key Delivery Service, for the permanent license key.

If you do not enter a permanent license key for the Data Protector Express Backup Server during the installation, a 60-day evaluation license key will be installed automatically. In this case you will need to acquire and add the permanent license key within 60 days of installation to continue using Data Protector Express.

Adding Data Protector Express options

The Data Protector Express options are enabled with license keys, no additional software installation is required. All Data Protector Express options are delivered with a paper Entitlement Certificate. This contains an Order Number that is exchanged for the permanent license key to enable the option. Once you have acquired the license key:
  • Select Licenses from the Help drop-down menu in the Data Protector Express GUI.
  • Select ‘New’ in the Task and Information pane and add the license key and click OK

Adding license keys after installation

If you install Data Protector Express with an evaluation license you enter the permanent license key as describe below.
  • Have the permanent license key to hand.
  • Select Licenses from the Help drop-down menu in the Data Protector Express GUI
  • Select ‘New’ in the Task and Information pane and add the license key and click OK
