1. A method of creating a clustered computing system, comprising:
- storing license information for a computing cluster in a memory module associated with a computing node, wherein the licensing information includes a bundle-type parameter that identifies a size of the cluster and at least one additional bundle-type characteristic of the cluster, and one or more node license parameters that identifies a characteristic of a computing node;
initializing the computing cluster in a first computing node;
adding one or more available computing nodes to the computing cluster; and
activating the computing cluster when the computing cluster includes a number of nodes that complies with the bundle-type parameter.

9. A computing system comprising at least two computing nodes, wherein at least one of the computing nodes comprises:
-
a cluster module stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the cluster module configured to manage compatibility operations associated with a computing cluster, the cluster module initializing a computing cluster in the first computing node, the cluster module adding one or more available computing nodes to the computing cluster; a node module stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the node module configured to manage compatibility operations associated with the at least two computer nodes, the node module storing license information for the computing cluster, wherein the licensing information includes a bundle-type parameter that identifies a size of the computing cluster and at least one additional bundle-type characteristic of the computing cluster, and one or more node license parameters that identifies a characteristic of a first computing node; and a management module stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the management module configured to manage compatibility operations with one or more external servers, the management module activating the computing cluster when the computing cluster includes a number of nodes that complies with the bundle-type parameter. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium which, when executed by a computer processor, configure the processor to:
-
store license information for a computing cluster in a memory module associated with a computing node, wherein the licensing information includes a bundle-type parameter that identifies a size of the cluster and at least one additional bundle-type characteristic of the cluster, and one or more node license parameters that identifies a characteristic of a computing node; initialize the computing cluster in a first computing node;
add one or more available computing nodes to the computing cluster; andactivate the computing cluster when the computing cluster includes a number of nodes that complies with the bundle-type parameter. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
