Notes:
1. When you log in to Device Manager - Storage Navigator, a warning message
appears if 45 days or less remain before the expiration.
Using the permanent key
You can purchase the permanent key to use a software application indefinitely. You must
estimate a licensed capacity required for using the software application and purchase a
license key for the amount of the required capacity.
If insufficient license capacity is installed, Not Enough License displays in the status
■
field of the License Keys window, and the software application is not enabled.
If the capacity of the usable volume exceeds the licensed capacity while the storage
■
system is running (for example, when an LDEV is additionally installed), Grace Period
displays in the status field of the License Keys window. You can continue to perform
the same operations, but the deficient amount of license capacity must be purchased
within 30 days.
Using the term key
You can purchase the term key to use the software application for a specific number of
days. You must estimate a licensed capacity required for using the software application
and purchase a license key for the amount of the required capacity.
If insufficient license capacity is installed, Not Enough License or Grace Period
■
displays in the status field of the License Keys window.
You can enable or disable the term key for each software application. Unlike the
■
temporary key and the emergency key, the number of days the term key is enabled is
counted as the number of effective days of the term key rather than the number of
elapsed days from the installation date.
The number of effective days is decremented by one day when the date changes.
■
For example, if the term key is set to be enabled for 150 days during installation and
the term key is disabled for 100 days and a total of 250 days have elapsed since the
installation, the number of remaining effective days of the term key is 215 days. This
is determined by subtracting 150 days from 365 days. By disabling the term key on
the days when the software application is not used, you can prevent the unnecessary
shortening of the period in which the term key can be used.
If the term key is expired, Not Installed displays in the status field of the License Keys
■
window, and the software application is disabled.
Using the temporary key
You can use the temporary key for trial purposes. The effective term is 120 days from the
time of installation of the temporary key. The effective term is not increased even if the
temporary key is reinstalled during the effective term.
