NOTE:
Do not discard the registration materials included in the capacity bundle.
• Deduplication — when you have upgraded to firmware version 3.1.x or higher to use the dedu-
plication feature.
A VLS deduplication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use the deduplication
feature. The number of deduplication licenses must match or exceed the number of capacity licenses
installed. After you install the deduplication licenses, the VLS system automatically enables the
deduplication feature for all supported backup types.
• Replication — when you have upgraded to firmware version 3.2.x or higher to use the deduplic-
ation-enabled replication feature.
A VLS replication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use deduplication-enabled
replication. Without the license, you may replicate backups across the SAN or LAN/WAN.
However, you need the replication license to replicate backups that have been deduplicated.
Deduplication-enabled replication requires one license per node on the target site.
Follow these steps to install capacity, deduplication, and replication licenses:
1. Use Command View VLS to obtain the VLS system serial number from the Identity tab.
2. Locate the paper or email entitlement certificate for the licenses you purchased. (You selected the
delivery method during the ordering process.)
HP recommends purchasing electronic certificates over physical certificates for faster delivery
and the convenience of not having to manage (either file away or throw away) confidential paper
certificates.
3. Log on to http://www.webware.hp.com.
4. Select Generate Licenses.
5. Sign in. If you are a new user, follow the on-screen instructions.
6. Enter the order number from the entitlement certificate.
7. Enter the VLS serial number. You will receive a license key immediately onscreen and via email.
8. Copy the license key.
9. In Command View VLS, select the System tab.
10. Select Chassis on the navigation pane.
11. Select Licensing from the task bar.
The Manage Upgrade Licenses screen displays all of the existing licenses.
12. Select Add License.
13. In the empty field that displays, paste the license key.
14. Select OK.
The screen returns to the Manage Upgrade Licenses list and includes the newly installed licenses.
