TB-Days Meter based Term license are installed, you can use the 90TB-Days in any of the following
ways:
• 90TB-Days to monitor 90TB additional physical usable capacity in one day.
• 90TB-Days to monitor 1TB additional physical usable capacity for 90 days.
• 90TB-Days to monitor 10TB additional physical usable capacity for nine days.
• Any usage where the duration (Y days) multiplied by the additional physical usable capacity (XTB)
equals 90TB-Days.
The following figure illustrates the use of Meter based Term license.
At the time of installing the Meter based Term license, if the physical usable capacity is within the
Permanent licensed capacity, the installed TB-Days remain dormant till the physical usable capacity
exceeds the Permanent licensed capacity. They are activated only after the Permanent license is
completely used. The TB-Days are used for the duration when the physical usable capacity exceeds the
installed Permanent licensed capacity and the exceeded capacity can be managed by the installed TB-
Days.
NOTE: After the installed TB-Days are activated, PA verifies the remaining TB-Days every day after
1:00 PM and accordingly updates the TB-Days status on the License screen - License Status
section. For more information on the License screen, see Add licenses on page 62.
• If the installed TB-Days are used in the first half of a day, the TB-Days status is updated after
1:00 PM on the same day.
• If the installed TB-Days are used in the second half of a day, the TB-Days status is updated after
1:00 PM on the next day.
For example, a Permanent license is installed on 11/30/2010 to monitor 50TB physical usable capacity. In
addition, 90TB-Days are also installed on the same day to monitor 10TB additional physical usable
capacity later for nine days. As the physical usable capacity is still within the Permanent licensed
capacity, PA does not use the 90TB-Days. The following table lists the fields that are updated on the
License screen - License Status section when the 90TB-Days are installed for an XP7 disk array record.
