If you uninstall the temporary key, even though the effective term remains, [Not Installed] is displayed in
the status field, [Temporary] is displayed in the Key Type field, and remaining days of the effective term
are displayed in the Term (days) field of the License Key window.
If the temporary key expires, you cannot reinstall the temporary key for 180 days. Expired is displayed
in the status field of the License Key window, and the software application is disabled.
Using the emergency key
You can use the emergency key if the license key cannot be purchased if an emergency occurs, such as
a system failure or a communication error.
You can also use the emergency key if the configuration of the software application that is installed by the
temporary key remains in the changed status and cannot be restored to the original status. For example,
if you do not plan to purchase the software application with the emergency key.
CAUTION:
•
If the emergency key is installed in the software application in which the permanent key, term
key, or meter key is installed, the effective term of the license key is 30 days. However, because
the emergency key can be reinstalled during the effective term, the effective term can be
restored to 30 days.
•
In other scenarios, the emergency key can be installed only once.
Using the meter key
•
The permanent license must be already installed.
•
The meter license is used if the used amount exceeds the permanent licensed capacity.
•
The expiration date is calculated from the amount of the used capacity exceeding the permanent
license capacity and the remaining meter licensed capacity. On the other hand, if the used capacity is
within the permanent licensed capacity, the meter license is not used, and the expiration date is not
displayed.
•
Meter licensed capacity is checked daily at 13:00, based on the SVP clock. At this time, one day is
deducted from the number of TB-Days. If others are using Remote Web Console during that time, the
License Key window update might be delayed.
•
Unlike a term key, the license of a meter key cannot be disabled.
•
The meter license after removal cannot be reinstalled. The remaining TB/Day license will be forfeited.
•
The license capacity of software applications such as Auto LUN is based on the mounted capacity. To
stop the meter license capacity from being reduced when used with one of these software applications
cannot be used.
Calculating the effective term of the meter key
The effective term of the meter key is calculated from the following three types of capacities.
•
The used capacity.
•
The licensed capacity of the permanent key.
•
The remaining licensed capacity of the meter key.
The calculation formula is as follows.
