that sounds like a VAR problem. if I'm buying from a VAR, I expect the
system to arrive as ordered and configured.
As we buy direct from HP (big corp), I *ALWAYS* go through the entire
'quickspec' page on any HP gear, carefully studying the options and
SKU's, any such licenses should be clear there. For example, I
*always* get the full ILO license.
