Restore the license status from the Grace Period status to the Installed status by any of the following
methods.
•
Add the licensed capacity of the meter key.
•
Add the licensed capacity of the permanent key.
•
Decrease the used capacity.
Grace Period status with meter key
With the license of the meter key, the amount of the licensed capacity of the permanent key
exceeding the used capacity is subtracted. In the
“Example of licensed capacity of permanent key
+ licensed capacity of meter key < used capacity” , Grace Period is displayed in the status field of
the License Key window. The duration of the Grace Period is 30 days. The license for the deficient
amount must be purchased within the 30 days.
In the Grace Period term, the operation can be performed in the same manner as the Installed
status. However, as the license capacity of the meter key continues to be subtracted, the subtraction
continues even if the license capacity of the meter key becomes a negative value. For example:
•
If the licensed capacity of the meter key is -10TB and 20TB of license capacity is installed,
the remaining licensed capacity becomes 10TB.
•
If the licensed capacity is a negative value and more licensed capacity of the permanent key
than the used capacity is installed, the meter license is deleted.
If the license key for the deficient amount is not installed within the 30 days, the status is changed
to Not Enough License, and the program product is disabled. If more licensed capacity of the
permanent key than the used capacity is installed, the meter license is deleted.
Estimating licensed capacity
The licensed capacity is volume capacity that you are licensed to use with the program product.
You need to estimate the amount of capacity which you want to use with the program product
before you purchase the permanent key, the term key, or the meter key.
Program products and licensed capacity
There are three licensed capacity types, depending on the program product. The following table
describes the licensed capacity types.
Table 18 Licensed capacity types
Description Type

product will use. The capacity to be used for estimation differs depending on the program
product. Used capacity
