After the Thin Provisioning Feature License is purchased, it is activated by registering a Thin
Provisioning Feature license key in the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
When purchasing the Thin Provisioning Feature, a Transaction Authentication Number (TAN)
and the URL of the web-site from which the license key may be obtained are notified by E-mail.
■
For regions other than EMEA&I
When the Thin Provisioning Feature License is purchased separately, register the Thin Provi-
sioning license in the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
For details on how to register the license, refer to the "Feature activation licenses" document that
is provided with the Thin Provisioning Feature License.

vided license label plate or the ETERNUS Web GUI screen. In the fol-
lowing conditions, the license is registered.
