Compatibility with HP GlancePlus

buy HP GlancePlus Pak, you do not need to purchase HP GlancePlus.
Current owners of HP GlancePlus may elect to upgrade to HP GlancePlus Pak
at any time for a very low cost and with no change in monthly support
costs.
Compatibility with HP LaserRX/MPE
If you currently own HP LaserRX/MPE you can use it to analyze the data
collected by HP GlancePlus Pak provided you do not exceed the number of
analyzed systems in your HP LaserRX license.
You do not need to own the HP LaserRX/MPE Analyzer Software in order to
utilize the trending performance data collected by HP GlancePlus Pak.
This means that you can start analyzing your system's performance trends
or billing for system resources with your investment in HP GlancePlus
Pak. (The HP LaserRX Analyzer software may be easily added at a later
time if desired).
A new option has been added to HP LaserRX/MPE that allows you to purchase
just the Analyzer Software. The license on this new option is to analyze
an unlimited number of systems, but it does not include the data
collection software. You may purchase HP GlancePlus Pak today and add
the Analyzer software later. You may also use this option to add a
second analysis station to an existing HP LaserRX package.
