Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a developer license and a production license?
A developer license is intended for building, testing, and validating software. A production license is required for deploying and operating software in a live, customer-facing environment. This E-LTU is for development purposes only.
What is NFVO and GVNFM?
NFVO (Network Functions Virtualization Orchestrator) manages the lifecycle of network services and network functions. GVNFM (Virtualized Network Function Manager) manages the lifecycle of individual virtual network functions.
Is this license tied to specific hardware?
While this license is part of the HPE Telco portfolio, the E-LTU itself is a software entitlement. Specific hardware compatibility for development and testing should be confirmed with HPE documentation.
