Installing a license

A license is required to expand Snapshot limits and to use Replication. The license is specific to a controller
enclosure serial number and firmware version.
If a permanent license is not installed and you want to try these features before buying a permanent
license, you can create a temporary license one time. A temporary license will expire 60 days from the
time it is created. After creating a temporary license, each time you sign in to SMU, a message specifies
the time remaining in the trial period. If you do not install a permanent license before the temporary license
expires, you cannot create new items with these features; however, you can continue to use existing items.
After a temporary license is created or a permanent license is installed, the option to create a temporary
license is no longer displayed.
