If the license key for the deficient amount of capacity is not installed within the 30 days, the status
changes to Not Enough License, and the software application is disabled. If a permanent key with
more licensed capacity 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 software application.
You need to estimate the amount of capacity which you want to use with the software application
before you purchase the permanent key, the term key, or the meter key.

Software and licensed capacity

Three licensed capacity types are available. The one you choose depends on the software. The
