Managing feature licenses (cluster administrators only)

Your sales or support representative can provide you with license keys, also known as license codes, that you use to enable certain features, services, or packs on your cluster.

You need to install license keys on your cluster before you can use the products or features that require them. You install each key one time to license the entire cluster. License keys are issued based on the number of nodes in your cluster. If you add new nodes to your cluster, you need to add new licenses that are valid for the new total number of nodes in the cluster.

You add, delete, and display information about feature licenses by using the system license commands.

Adding licenses

If your storage system software was installed at the factory, System Manager automatically adds the software to its list of licenses. If the software was not installed at the factory, you can add the software license from the Add License dialog box.

Deleting licenses

You can use the Licenses window to delete an expired software license. However, you cannot delete the disk sanitization license after it is installed on your system.
