Terms of use changes
Changes were made to the Lenovo XClarity One Terms of Use, Changes to the Terms section. At a glance, here’s what this update means for you. If you have any further questions regarding the updates to our terms, please do not hesitate to reach out to Lenovo Customer Support.
Introduce the On-Premises Version. For the sake of clarity, we made changes to naming convention of the XClarity One set of products, now referred to as “Platform” as well as introduced the new on-premises version of the Platform which can be installed as a virtual machine in your local datacenter.
Grant of License. We made changes to the language to clarify existing commitments.
Lenovo and your responsibilities. We made changes to the language to introduce new responsibilities in relation to your use of the on-premises version of the Platform as well as clarified existing commitments.
Data Collection & Use by Lenovo. We updated the language to make the data processing activities clearer in relation to the use of the on-premises version.
Artificial Intelligence. We clarified existing commitments and how these apply in relation to the on-premises version and updated the language to reflect how Lenovo may use AI and analytics.
Other changes. We made minor changes to the language to make it easier to understand what to expect from the Platform as you use our Services, mainly in relation to the use of the on-premises version.
These new terms go into effect on August 5, 2025. When logging into the Platform for the first time after the changes are in effect, you are prompted to review and accept the new terms. If you do not agree with the new terms, you will not be able to use the using XClarity One Platform. If we do not hear from you, we assume you agreed to the terms and want to keep using Platform as usual.

Software enhancements
The following software enhancements are supported in this release.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| General | You can install XClarity One as a virtual machine in your local datacenter. It includes the same infrastructure and management functions that you have when using XClarity One in the cloud (see Setting up XClarity One as a local VM and On-premises portal configuration and management). You can use XClarity One for free to manage a maximum of 50 devices for up to 30 days using the free-trial license; however, after the free trial expires, you must purchase and install appropriate licenses to continue using applicable XClarity One functions (see Licenses). This release includes HashiCorp Vault v1.202, which mitigates the critical zero-day vulnerabilities found in August 2025. |
| Accessibility | You can navigate through interactive elements in the web interface by using standard keyboard keys (see Accessibility). |
| Authentication | If you forget your password, your user administrator can reset your password for you (Signing in to the XClarity One portal). |
| Organizations | If you purchased licenses before requesting an organization, the organization request is approved immediately, and the licenses are automatically applied to the organization (see Requesting a new organization). |
| Devices | You can manually import firmware when Lenovo creates a limited-availability fix specifically for you (see Firmware updates). You can choose to deploy a template using prioritized active to limit workload disruption .(see Firmware updates). XClarity One can quickly configure and maintain device settings on your managed devices by learning the device-settings configuration from an existing device and then applying that configuration to your other servers (see Device settings). You can disable the device-settings deployment functions globally in all hubs in your organization from the XClarity One web interface (see Management features and functions). You can deploy a template to specific devices to update firmware and device settings (see Device templates). |
| Alerts and events | You can create custom alert rules to raise alerts for multiple events, based on metric thresholds (see Custom alerts). |
