The storage system requires a software license to enable HTTP service. The license is installed on the storage system at the factory per your order, so the initial setup of your storage system does not involve entering a license code.
You need to enter a license code only if any of the following conditions applies:
You purchased a storage system with a version of Data ONTAP™ software earlier than Data ONTAP 4.0, and you just upgraded it to the current version.
You want to enable a protocol not previously licensed for your storage system.
You just reinstalled the storage system's file system.
You are provided with the appropriate license codes when your software upgrade kit is shipped or when you are given instructions for obtaining the software upgrade over the Internet.
