Managing A Licensed Feature - IBM DS8900F Introduction And Planning Manual

Managing a licensed feature

Use the IBM Data storage feature activation (DSFA) website to change an optional function from active to
inactive. Change an assigned value, such as current number of terabytes, for a function to make that
licensed function inactive.
About this task
If you have an active optional function and you want to replace it with an inactive function, you must
repurchase the function if you want to use it again. However, you can use the following steps if you want
to use the feature again.
Procedure
1. From the IBM Data storage feature activation (DSFA) website (www.ibm.com/storage/dsfa), change
the assigned value from the current number of terabytes (TB) to 0 TB.
2. If this change is made, you can go back to the DSFA website and reactivate the function, up to the
previously purchased level, without having to repurchase the function.
