guide.
Licensing
For StoreOnce VSA a single license key enables the appliance and the StoreOnce Catalyst and
Replication features. At deployment an instant-on license is automatically applied that is valid for
60 days. During this 60 day period a purchased license must be applied. If not, at the end of the
60–day period the configured backup targets become read-only. All backups written are accessible
but additional backups cannot be written. The read-write status is restored as soon as the purchased
license is applied. There are no time constraints on when the purchased license may be applied.
The purchased license is a 3-year user license.
The StoreOnce VSA GUI and the SEM GUI advise how many days are left until the license expires;
this is updated daily. The following example is from the
Events
page of the StoreOnce VSA GUI.
On expiry of an instant-on license after 60 days, the following message is displayed in the
Events
page on the StoreOnce VSA GUI, “StoreOnce Instant-on license expired.”
In order to purchase the unique license for your HP StoreOnce VSA you require the entitlement
number on the email or letter received when you purchased StoreOnce VSA and
Serial Number
.
This number is unique to the HP StoreOnce VSA.
StoreOnce serial numbers
When redeeming licenses for the StoreOnce VSA, the HP licensing portal will ask for a UUID (a
unique identifier with which a license is generated). The Serial Number is the UUID for the StoreOnce
VSA. SEM users can find the Serial Number on the SEM GUI, as described in
To apply the license
using SEM (page 24)
.
Alternatively, you can locate the number using the StoreOnce GUI. The number you should use is
the Serial Number (highlighted in the example below) that can be found on the
Status
page of the
GUI.
