Installing a license A license is required to expand Snapshot limits and to use Replication. The license is specific to a controller enclosure serial number and firmware version. If a permanent license is not installed and you want to try these features before buying a permanent license, you can create a temporary license one time. A temporary license will expire 60 days from the time it is created. After creating a temporary license, each time you sign in to SMU, a message specifies the time remaining in the trial period. If you do not install a permanent license before the temporary license expires, you cannot create new items with these features; however, you can continue to use existing items. After a temporary license is created or a permanent license is installed, the option to create a temporary license is no longer displayed.
