Compatibility with HP GlancePlus
HP GlancePlus Pak includes the current HP GlancePlus software. If you

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 PerfRX and LaserRX/MPE
If you currently own HP PerfRX or HP LaserRX/MPE, then you can use it to
analyze the data collected by HP GlancePlus Pak as long as you don't
exceed the number of analyzed systems in your HP LaserRX license.
You do not need to own HP PerfRX or HP LaserRX/MPE 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.)
HP LaserRX/MPE option allows you to purchase just the Analyzer Software.
The license on this option is to analyze an unlimited number of systems,
but it does not include the performance 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.
