7-mode/HA pair/V-Series : Configuration : Protocols : CIFS : Understanding CIFS : CIFS license
CIFS license
Your storage system requires a software license to enable CIFS service. This license is installed on the storage system at the factory per your order; therefore, you do not typically need to enter license codes when you initially configure your system. If CIFS license is not installed on the storage system, then
System Manager
does not list 'CIFS' under
Storage
>
Shared Folders
>
Sessions
in the console tree.
You need to enter license codes only if any of the following conditions applies:
•
You purchased a storage system with a software version earlier than Data ONTAP 4.0 and you are upgrading it.
•
You want to enable CIFS, which was not previously licensed for your storage system.
•
You reinstalled your file system on an existing system that was not shipped with it installed.
In these cases, you are provided with the appropriate license codes when the software upgrade kit is shipped to you or when you are given instructions for obtaining the software upgrade over the Internet.
