Peer Motion Expired on June 29, 2018
I am missing lot of features like adaptive, dynamic, priority optimizations, file persona, RMC, Remote copy etc...
I found this doc on HP site
https://www.dectrader.com/pdf/quickspec ... 64_na.html
it says that with new all-inclusive license model all those features are available. I found this transient license for updating old feature based license model to new all-inclusive for some 100$.
https://www.newegg.com/p/1WK-00NP-005R8 ... klink=true
But I also find opposing information that with transient update only already licenses would update, and I will still be missing features.
Can you help me to clarify what I am getting with this transient upgrade and are there other options, what is best to do?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
