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.
