License Guide (For Huawei Engineers) 2 eSight License Introduction
2 eSight License Introduction
2.1 Introduction to ESDP

The Electronic Software Delivery Platform (ESDP) is the new license delivery and
entitlement management platform for Huawei. The ESDP website is https://
app.huawei.com/isdp/, which can be accessed through https://
w3.huawei.com/sdp in Huawei.
2.2 Introduction to License Files

eSight controls functions of different editions versions using license files.
License files are authorized files generated by special encryption tools based on
information about contracts signed by customers and Huawei and information
about the server where eSight is installed. When customers get the license file,
then they manually load their license files to eSight to obtain the permission to
use eSight.
The following table lists license categories supported by eSight.

License Guide (For Huawei Engineers) 3 Commercial License Application
3 Commercial License Application
3.1 Creating/Activating the License

If you purchase eSight for the first time or perform capacity expansion or upgrade,
use the contract number to apply for a commercial license file.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to ESDP at https://app.huawei.com/isdp/ and choose License Activation
> Entitlement Activation.
Step 2 Select an entitlement.
1. Enter the search criteria and click Search.
2. Select one or more entitlements as required.
3. Click Next to go to the Bind ESN page.

eSight
NOTICE
1. Click the activation ID to view Spart details. Ensure that the selected
entitlement item contains the 8803xxxx resource item code and the

deployment scenarios, the license with the annual fee information can be
activated only when both the resource license item and the annual fee
license item are available.
2. If the resource license item and the annual fee license item are in different
authorization IDs, activate the 8803xxxx resource authorization and then
the 8806xxxx annual fee authorization.
Step 3 Enter the ESN or click to select an existing device (NE) to obtain the ESN.
Separate multiple ESNs with commas (,). Then, click Next.

NOTE
To ensure license combination, the ESNs for the new license to be applied for and the
original license must be the same. Otherwise, the ESDP cannot automatically combine the
licenses.
Procedure

3.7 Goods Delivery Issue Feedback
3.7.1 Application Scenarios

Compare the license file with the contract. If a feature is included in the contract
but the corresponding license file is not provided, or the quantities are different,
the frontline engineer can start the Claim process.
NOTICE
If the license file is the same as that listed in the contract, but does not meet the
network requirements, the frontline product manager should modify the contract
through LTC.
3.7.2 Precautions
● The contract ID is obtained.
● The issue description is provided.
3.7.3 Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the SCM Customer Problem Management system at: https://
w3.huawei.com/supply/claim/.
Step 2 Fill in the application and submit it. For details, see the instruction attached in the
application form.

eSight
Step 3 Check the workflow processing status. After the supply chain market contact
specialist processes the application, a new order number is generated.

> Entitlement Management. Query the new entitlement by ERP Order No., click
Search, select the entitlement, and click Active License.
----End
3.8 License Rectification

If a license encounters a problem due to R&D reasons instead of market or supply
chain reasons, report the problem through the ITR process. After the problem is
located, follow the R&D rectification flow. For issues related to third-party
software and OEM software, follow the contract change flow because these
problems are related to the supply chain. The R&D rectification scenarios include
but are not limited to:
● If a delivered license does not function due to product design defects
(incorrect quotation templates, incorrect configuration algorithms, or license
control or compatibility issues), Huawei needs to provide a new license.
● If no license is available on the live network after a product is switched from a
version that has no license control to a version that has license control for the
first time, Huawei needs to provide a new license.
● If the license on the live network becomes invalid due to changes in product
sales policies or a delay of product GA, Huawei needs to provide a new
license.
● If the license on the live network because invalid because the R version must
be upgraded due to the reasons such as product version combination, Huawei
needs to provide a new license.
● If the product license or eSight license becomes invalid due to rectification of
product software or hardware, Huawei needs to provide a new license.

eSight
3.8.2 Rectification Process

The process of license rectification caused by R&D is divided into the following
two phases:
● Warning for software license rectification
● Implementation of software license rectification onsite
3.8.2.1 Announcing the Rectification on Software License Issues (Owner:

R&D)
If a project cannot be successfully delivered because of a license issue, the product
R&D department will give a notice for license rectification based on the affected
scope and measures. The process is as follows:

be entered.
● Set Precaution title* and Precaution

License Guide (For Huawei Engineers) 6 Commissioning License Application
6 Commissioning License Application
A commissioning license is a temporary license and it reduces frequent license

adjustments on customer network and improves delivery efficiency during project
delivery. When a major or emergent network issue occurs, the commissioning
license can be used.
A commissioning license is a temporary license. After the commissioning service is

complete, the validity period of the license expires. The GTS engineers must
comply with the service rule of commissioning licenses. They should apply for, use,
and withdraw commissioning licenses based on actual service needs. License use
must be authorized.
Note: In the carrier scenario (Carrier GTS), download the commissioning license by
referring to 5.2 Downloading a Commissioning License. The following uses the
enterprise network scenario as an example.
6.1 Engineering Delivery Project Commissioning

The commercial license file in network deployment cannot be obtained or is
invalid. To meet onsite installation and commissioning requirement quickly, the
commissioning license with fixed validity period can be used (license can be
downloaded three times for each ESN). The scenarios include:
● The commercial licenses are available. However, the planned configuration in

contract is different from the actual configuration in deployment. To improve
efficiency, commissioning licenses can be used.
● The commercial licenses are available. However, an enormous number of
licenses may be changed when the deployment and expansion
(modernization) tasks are carried out concurrently for an office. Before the
equipment license status stabilizes, commissioning licenses can be used.
● The commercial licenses are available. However, an enormous number of
licenses may be changed when a contract is split into multiple POs that are
issued at different project phases. Before all POs are issued, commissioning
licenses can be used.
