5. Click Uninstall. The status changes to Remove.

capacity (shown as XX TB) might remain in the list. In this case, select that option and select Uninstall

Insufficient license capacity

If license capacity becomes insufficient, a message appears when you log in to Remote Web Console.
If you add LDEVs and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity, Grace
Period appears under the Status column in the License Key window. If this occurs, you must purchase
an additional license within 30 days to cover the capacity shortage.
In the meter license, for reducing the amount exceeding the permanent license capacity among the used
capacity ((permanent license capacity) + (meter licensed capacity) < (used capacity)), if the meter
licensed capacity becomes insufficient, Grace Period is displayed in the status column on the License
Key screen. In this case, you need to purchase an additional license within 30 days to cover the capacity
shortage.
If you use Thin Provisioning, the licensed capacity might become insufficient because the used capacity
of Thin Provisioning pools could increase even if you do not add any volumes. If this occurs, you must
purchase an additional license within 30 days to cover the capacity shortage. For details on how to
calculate pool capacity, see the XP P9000 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide.

Exceeded capacity

When the licensed capacity exceeds the mounted capacity after you reduce the number of LDEVs, pairs
or pools, Grace Period or Not Enough License message might appear in the Status column in the
License Key window. If this occurs, use the Available button to refresh the status.
To refresh the license status:
Procedure
1. Click Settings > Install > License Key. The License Key window opens.
2. Click
to change to Modify mode.
3. In Mode, click Available.
4. Click Install. The Status column changes to Install.
5. Click Apply. The status changes to Installed.

License key expiration

If the license key for software-A expires, the license key of software-B is also disabled if it requires an
enabled software-A. In this scenario, Installed (Disabled) appears for software-B in the Status
column of the License Key window. After that, when you re-enable software-A, software-B is also re-
enabled. If the Status column for software-B continues to display Installed (Disabled), go to the
License Key window and manually change the status of software-B back to Installed.
After your license key expires, no new configuration settings can be made, and no monitoring functions
can be used with Performance Monitor. Configuration settings made before the expiration of the license
key remain in effect. You can cancel configuration changes for some software.
