The Reset button is displayed on the right of the progress bar. Click Reset button to extend the Modify

mode time period. For example, if the Modify mode timeout period is set as 30 minutes (default), the

Modify mode time period is extended for an additional 30 minutes when you click Reset.
You can change the Modify mode timeout period or disable the timeout parameter altogether

by using the RMI™ time-out period for Modify parameter in the Set Env. pane. You

have to log on as a storage administrator with Enable authority to change the setting

of RMI™ time-out period for Modify. For information on changing the parameter, see

parameter by specifying No, the Modify mode progress bar is not displayed in the XP Remote Web

Console main pane.

License Keys

A license key is a text string that functions as a password. When you enter the license key for a product

option in XP Remote Web Console, that option is unlocked. Because each license key is generated with

an array serial number and option ID input, each array requires a unique license key code. License key

codes for each product option and array are provided at the time of purchase (see

Figure 29

).

Figure 29 Overview of License Keys and Option Installation

Three types of license keys are available:

A permanent License Key is issued when the software license is purchased. It is used to enable

the product indefinitely.

An emergency License Key is used in situations where the temporary key is set to expire in the near

future, and the user cannot get the permanent key in time because of special circumstances (for

example, a licensed server has crashed or problems exist with the communication infrastructure).

An emergency key may also be used when a user who does not intend to purchase the option

needs to undo a configuration change that was made during the lifetime of the temporary license

key. An emergency key is effective for 30 days.

NOTE:

If you forcibly install an emergency key to an option that already has the permanent key, the license

for that option will expire in 30 days.

A temporary License Key is for trial use. 75 days after the temporary license key is installed (or

when there are 45 days left before the expiration), a warning message is displayed on the XP

Remote Web Console main pane when you start the XP Remote Web Console. After 120 days,

the temporary license key expires. A message that warns the user of the expiration of the license

key is displayed, and the license key expiration is also reported to the host.
