- If you've purchased a license but have not yet received it, make note of the value in the System ID section on the Licensing page and contact your sales representative.
- To use the system for a limited amount of time with the pre-installed trial license, click Next.
If for some reason the trial license failed to install, there is a copy included in the HCI-<version-number>.tgz installation package that you can upload to the Licensing page. The trial license is located in the installation package at:
