This chapter describes tasks for license management.

About licenses

Licenses must be registered for the storage systems managed by Replication Manager. The following
table describes the types of license keys.

Types of license keys

Description

Type

A license key required to use a product permanently. Permanent license
keys are provided for each storage system that is to be managed by Replic-
ation Manager.

Permanent

A license key that allows a user to use a product temporarily for a purpose
such as product evaluation. Temporary license keys are provided for indi-
vidual systems.

Temporary

A license key that allows a user to use a product temporarily only in an
emergency. Emergency license keys are provided for individual systems. If
an emergency license key is added when a permanent license key has
already been registered, the emergency license key takes precedence.
