HP Smart Array Advanced Pack Evaluation License Key

hp_saap_license.txt

34T62-N84MB-7DQGY-G7XGT-YTQ63

Anyone familiar with the HPE 'ssacli' commands and licenses?
The help shows this `root@localhost:~] /opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli help license

The following documentation pertains to your search:

add [licensekey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX]
The add command adds a license key to the specified array controller.The
target can be any valid controller.

delete
The command removes a license key from the specified array controller.The
target can be any valid license key.

Examples:
controller slot=0 add licensekey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
controller slot=0 add lk=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
controller all add lk=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
controller slot=0 licensekey XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX delete
controller slot=0 lk XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX delete
controller slot=0 lk XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX show
controller slot=0 lk all show`

I can add the license with the command

ssacli ctrl slot=0 add licensekey=34T62-N84MB-7DQGY-G7XGT-YTQ63

however deleting it doesn't work and I get this error

`[root@localhost:~] /opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl slot=0 lk 34T62-N84MB-7DQGY-G7XGT-YTQ63 delete

Error: The specified device does not have a licensekey identified by
"34T62-N84MB-7DQGY-G7XGT-YTQ63"
`
I've tried using the keyword 'licensekey' and the shortened 'lk' as well as the key with hyphens and without and I get the same error message.

I was hoping to just create a script to remove and re-add the license and run it every few months.

Here is a license:
36Z2J-8TJG8-M6XH4-6YWKB-WXM36

Hi, thanks for this, however it doesn't appear to work.
I have tried adding it during boot (F8) and from the ACU on the Proliant Support Pack .ISO.

Here is a license:
36Z2J-8TJG8-M6XH4-6YWKB-WXM36
I don't know If you can use it multiple times.
But whoever uses it, you can thank me with Monero here: 44YXzbkYW8X7qeuwKD9iKfSJkKzBwKn42insYuc7H1MwYBFBB9deND72oE2HcB4ELNQsEkDZotLpdekoAQazcN5EVHp3oSR
:D

Doesn't work for me too

HP should honestly release the key so we can use this in lab.

HP should honestly release the key so we can use this in lab.

Those greedy motherf.ers at HP wont release the master key for that shitty underperformer p410 not even in 100 yrs. Hell freeze over sooner than HP giving away anything for free. Thousands of unlicensed p410 are working even in 2024 all over the world. HP cannot let it happen to lose any potential $ from any single one of these people. So they wont publish the key, I can guarantee this to all of you. HP is similarly greedy mf company as oracle.

Here is a license: 36Z2J-8TJG8-M6XH4-6YWKB-WXM36

That p410 license key is bound to the serial number of your own specific device. Every other p410 has a different serial number, therefore no other card will accept this as a valid license. This works only on your unique card. There are clever motherf.ers working at HP, if its about milking their customers, so dont have high hopes you can find any working license for this shitty p410 card anywhere on the entire internet.

Im running into the same issue with my p440ar. I cant get a license for it through Hp because its a discontinued server. Why not just give us firmware to unlock it to its full potential then? HP is nothing more than greedy ass pieces of trash. I will NEVER buy another HP. I paid cash for this server and still get shit treatment from them. Because I dont have a subscription I was unable to update the firmware for iLO, as well as bios. Thankfully digging into the community, I was able to find not only the iLO firmware, but the BIOS as well. Even further digging I found the SPP (Service Pack for the Gen 9 servers). I have it being seeded on line right now.

In my past I have used Dell Poweredge, and still have my origional Dell Poweredge 1650's (x2) as well as my Dell Poweredge 2650. All 3 run perfectly fine just slow since the age. But I bought them new at the same time I purchased my HP DL380 G4. HP made it impossible for me to get firmwares, by putting them behind a paywall. Why? for the love of god this is BULLCRAP!. Dell has allowed all users to obtain their stuff ree.. I just dont get why a corporation would become so greedy and put everything behind a paywall. This will discourage people from buying more form them in the future. It has me. My DL380 G4 was purchased new, never had issues and never even updated the firmware. Id like to update the firmware too the latest available but all behind paywall.

Youd sure would think that they would be more grateful that we are keeping their products out of the landfill, and using their product. Honestly its a solid server. The G9, and even the G4. But holy hell, they are way out of service date, just release the shit already!

Doesn’t work on HP Smart Array P420i

Seems you can purchase a (currently cheap due to promotion) license from this site, though can't order it (yet) as I'm located outside of NZ.
https://acquire.co.nz/p/hpe/software-licensing/other-software/hpe-smartcache-no-media-24x7-technical-support-1-svr-license-d7s26a-76953/

I've sent them an email for more information.

I would rather find the license or solution to get the license for free, I don’t want to buy a license for home lab, I am totally in for paying for the license for enterprise environment but for polish home lab it’s pretty expensive thing, for the cost of Smart Array license I can get a pretty good phone

Uhm the license is currently in promotion and costs with GST (VAT) about 30NZD (~17EUR). So I don't think you'll be able to purchase much phone for it 😄 I'm also searching for a cheap (or free) license for my homelab.

this help?

HP made ADG free for SAAP 2.0+
You can no longer buy SAAP 1.0

For future reference, since these are no longer available from HPE

any for 440ar?

Gen9 and above moved to a "SmartCache" license as SAAP was deprecated.
I don't see any public licenses floating around GitHub for this.
D7S26A = Physical License Single Server
D7S27A = Physical License Multi Pack
D7S27AAE = Electronic License Single/Multi
List Price is $300 but 50% off is fairly common, so if you bite the bullet anything close/below $100 is a decent price.

And before anyone asks, the Gen10 and above MR series of controllers do not offer LSI CacheCade which is a similar feature on MegaRAID controllers. Broadcom (owns LSI) decided to get rid of it so HPE never implemented it.

Well I have a DL560 Gen8 and it needs a SmartCache license (P420i). Anyone found a way around?

I meant the product code for the thing you are looking for, i think its this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154290948651

or
516471-B21

also according to this if its a gen8 - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=c03369047&page=GUID-BC9621D3-85D1-489F-A8EE-D2C0A239846E.html
"Either a minimum of 256MB cache and battery kit or a minimum of 512MB BBWC/FBWC is required to enable RAID 5, 50, 6, 60. HP Smart Array Advanced Pack (SAAP 2.0) is no longer required to enable 6 & 60 (Advanced Data Guarding). However, controller must be in firmware version 4.68 (or later)"
Have you updated the firmware yet to see if it helps?

The firmware is up to date (8.32), I'm asking if someone has got a SmartCache license as my RAID controller is a P420i.
