To redeem a purchased license 1. Use one of the methods in the previous section to identify the serial number of the StoreOnce VSA. 2. Go to the Licensing web site at http://www.webware.hp.com and follow the instructions to generate the license to use (LTU) for the StoreOnce VSA. You will need the entitlement number on the email or letter received when you purchased StoreOnce VSA. • HP recommends that you select the option to save the license to a .DAT file. • The file can also be emailed to the registered license owner's email address or you can use Cut and Paste to copy it to a temporary file (for example to a text file). 3. If you save the license as a file, sftp it into the HP StoreOnce VSA system's repository directory. • Ensure the File Protocol is set to SFTP, not SCP. • Login to the StoreOnce VSA as a user with Admin rights. • FTP .dat to repository. 4. Apply the license using one of the following StoreOnce CLI commands: • license load : to load a license that has been saved as a file image. The file image must exist in the Backup system's repository directory • license add : to key in the license directly. If you used email or a temporary file, cut and paste the string exactly as you obtained it from the HP Licensing website. Entering the license manually is not advised. See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide for more information. Licensing 13
