Doesn’t work on HP Smart Array P420i
Seems you can purchase a (currently cheap due to promotion) license from this site, though can't order it (yet) as I'm located outside of NZ.

I've sent them an email for more information.
I would rather find the license or solution to get the license for free, I don’t want to buy a license for home lab, I am totally in for paying for the license for enterprise environment but for polish home lab it’s pretty expensive thing, for the cost of Smart Array license I can get a pretty good phone
Uhm the license is currently in promotion and costs with GST (VAT) about 30NZD (~17EUR). So I don't think you'll be able to purchase much phone for it 😄 I'm also searching for a cheap (or free) license for my homelab.
Im running into the same issue with my p440ar. I cant get a license for it through Hp because its a discontinued server. Why not just give us firmware to unlock it to its full potential then? HP is nothing more than greedy ass pieces of trash. I will NEVER buy another HP. I paid cash for this server and still get shit treatment from them. Because I dont have a subscription I was unable to update the firmware for iLO, as well as bios. Thankfully digging into the community, I was able to find not only the iLO firmware, but the BIOS as well. Even further digging I found the SPP (Service Pack for the Gen 9 servers). I have it being seeded on line right now.
In my past I have used Dell Poweredge, and still have my origional Dell Poweredge 1650's (x2) as well as my Dell Poweredge 2650. All 3 run perfectly fine just slow since the age. But I bought them new at the same time I purchased my HP DL380 G4. HP made it impossible for me to get firmwares, by putting them behind a paywall. Why? for the love of god this is BULLCRAP!. Dell has allowed all users to obtain their stuff ree.. I just dont get why a corporation would become so greedy and put everything behind a paywall. This will discourage people from buying more form them in the future. It has me. My DL380 G4 was purchased new, never had issues and never even updated the firmware. Id like to update the firmware too the latest available but all behind paywall.
Youd sure would think that they would be more grateful that we are keeping their products out of the landfill, and using their product. Honestly its a solid server. The G9, and even the G4. But holy hell, they are way out of service date, just release the shit already!
