When you register a program product license, you must first register a Perpetual or Subscription base license.
To request and register a license, contact your sales account representative to purchase a license key. To purchase a license key, you must provide the storage cluster ID and type of license you require. Depending on the type of the license, you also must notify the licensed capacity and period.
You can obtain the ID of the storage cluster by running the command described in Obtaining information about storage clusters or clicking the Cluster information icon in the VSP One SDS Block Administrator.

After reconfiguring a storage cluster, the license key issued before reconfiguring cannot be used for a new storage cluster. In this case, contact your sales account representative to reissue a license key that corresponds to the new storage cluster ID, and then register the license with the new license key specified.
-
To register an additional license for the same program product, a license key whose issue time is older than that of the already-registered license cannot be specified. Request reissue of a new license key, and then register the license with the new license key specified.
(Cloud) You do not need to register a license when the Utility or Floating is used as a base license.
