a code that enables you to retrieve your COD license key from the Quantum Capacity Upgrade website.
You can then activate your COD slot upgrade by loading the license key on the library through the operator
panel or web client (see
Details about the COD license key include:
• An authorization code to obtain a license key can be used one time only.
• A single license key can only be applied once and cannot be transferred to another library. The key
is verified when it is applied to the library to make sure it has not been previously used. In addition,
the license key is verified against the library to make sure that it is not allocated for more resources
than what physically exist in the library.
• The license key may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters. The license key can also contain
the at (@), dash (-), or underscore ( _ ) symbols. Alpha characters must be lowercase. The user
interface automatically converts entries to lowercase.
• The license key is associated with the serial number of the 5U control module. If you must replace
your control module for some reason, you will need to request a replacement license key from
Quantum.
• You will also need to request a replacement license key if you replace your library control blade
(LCB) compact flash card. The LCB compact flash card contains information about your library
configuration, including licensed features. For contact information, see
Help on page 4.
