Notes when operating license keys are as follows:
- Do not delete the license information dataset. Business Continuity Manager requires the license information dataset, and if it is deleted, Business Continuity Manager cannot be used.
- Do not use editors or similar applications to edit the license information
dataset. Doing so may result in Business Continuity Manager becoming inoperable.
To delete the license key of a storage system that is no longer needed from the license information dataset, do so from the Remove License Key panel that appears when you press F5=Remove in the Manage Licenses panel.
- If the specified license key is invalid, all or part of Business Continuity Manager will not be available. Make sure that you enter the correct license key.
- If an I/O error occurs in the license dataset, it is assumed that no license key exists.
- If you use the YKSETENV command to set or change the license information dataset name while Business Continuity Manager is running, CLI commands that are being executed will be executed using the previously set value. The set or updated license information dataset name will take effect once the YKLOAD command is executed.
- Hyphens cannot be used for the license key dataset name.
- Temporary license keys and emergency license keys that exceed a license period of 17 September 2042 cannot be installed.
