Setting up Licensing for the DR2000v

Before you begin to deploy the DR2000v, you must have installed a permanent license onto a physical DR Series system

to which the DR2000v will register. After the DR2000v is successfully deployed and booted for the first time, it must

register to this physical DR Series system.
For more information about licensing, see the topic, “Specifications and Usage Notes for the DR2000v.” For more

information about licensing limits for the DR2000v, refer to the

Dell DR Series Interoperability Guide

.

1.

Install the permanent license onto the physical DR Series system to which the DR2000v will register as follows.

file.

registered license information.

After you click Install License, and the license is installed successfully, the License page displays with a
successful notification and registered license information.
