Feature description

This feature allows customers to visualize their NSP License entitlements as well as their consumption with regards to License Points and Feature Packages (Entitled vs Consumed vs Remaining).

Alarms may be implemented if the consumption approaches or surpasses entitlement for License Points and Feature Packages.

Customer benefit

Customers will be able to see their NSP licensing information in terms of entitlements, as well as consumption for License Points and Feature Packages. With this, customers can take appropriate measures to be within the NSP licensing requirements, while planning for ongoing operations and growth.

Restrictions/Limitations

This feature does not show Consumption for Extended support NEs (NEs at release N-4 and older which no longer qualify for standard support) , nor for AuxDB.

There is no additional NSP enforcement being implemented through this feature.

The topics above will be addressed in separate features.

Feature description

This feature introduces the ability to update the License Points catalog not only through NSP software releases, but also in-between releases through the Artifacts view, similarly to adaptors. The NSP License Points catalog is versioned and the updates can happen only to a newer version. Once customers upgrade to a newer NSP release, they will upgrade to the newest version of the NSP License Points catalog available, even if they did not do so in between NSP releases.

Customer benefit

This allows the introduction of new Nokia or 3rd party NE hardware in between releases, as well as license policy updates and corrections. Customers benefit from new hardware availability and latest corrections immediately.

Restrictions/Limitations

The ability of the NSP License Points catalog to be updated between NSP releases depends on the NSP installation to be reachable between releases.

There is a dependency for air-gapped NSP installations.

This epic introduces support for NSP Subscription licensing, and alarming at subscription term end. Subscription terms can be 1 to 10 years, purchased in yearly increments. As of now, the only consequence for NSP subscription license expiry is that the alarm becomes critical 7 days before NSP license expiry term and every day after that.

In the future, reduced NSP functionality after a grace period will be introduced, if the license subscription is not renewed.
