1. When you log in to Remote Web Console, a warning message appears if 45 days or less remain
before the expiration.
2. See Using the meter key for details.
Using the permanent key
You can purchase the permanent key to use a software application and purchase a license key for the
amount of the required capacity.
•
If insufficient licence capacity is installed, Not Enough License is displayed in the status field of the
License Key window, and the software application is not enabled.
•
If the capacity of the usable volume exceeds the licensed capacity while the storage system is
running, for example, an LDEV was additionally installed, Grace Period is displayed in the status
field of the License Key window. You can continue to perform the same operations, but the deficient
amount of license must be purchased within 30 days.
Using the term key
You can purchase the term key to use the software application for a specific number of days. You must
estimate a licensed capacity required for using the software application and purchase a license key for
the amount of the required capacity.
•
Not Enough License or Grace Period is displayed in the status field of the License Key window
if there is insufficient license capacity.
•
You can enable or disable the term key for each software application. Unlike the temporary key and
the emergency key, the number of days the term key is enabled is counted as the number of effective
days of the term key rather than the number of elapsed days from the date of installation.
•
The number of effective days is decremented by one day when the date is changed. For example, if
the term key is set to be enabled for 150 days at the time of installation and the term key is disabled
for 100 days and a total of 250 days have elapsed since the installation, the number of remaining
effective days of the term key is 215 days. This is determined by subtracting 150 days from 365 days.
By disabling the term key on the days when the software application is not used, you can prevent the
unnecessary decrease of the period in which the term key can be used.
•
If the term key is expired, Not Installed is displayed in the status field of the License Key window,
and the software application is disabled.
Using the temporary key
You can use the temporary key for trial purposes. The effective term is 120 days from the time of
installation of the temporary key. The effective term is not increased even if the temporary key is
reinstalled during the effective term.
