If you uninstall the temporary key, even though the
effective
term remains, Temporary is
displayed in the status
field,
Not Installed is displayed in the Key Type
field,
and the
remaining days of the
effective
term are displayed in the Term (Days)
field
of the
License
Keys
window.
If the temporary key expires, you cannot reinstall the temporary key for 180 days.
Expired displays in the status
field
of the
License Keys
window, and the software
application is disabled.
Using the emergency key
You can use the emergency key if the license key cannot be purchased, or if an
emergency occurs, such as a system failure or a communication error.
You can also use the emergency key if the
configuration
of the software application that
is installed by the temporary key remains in the changed status and cannot be restored
to the original status. For example, if you do not plan to purchase the software
application after using the temporary key for trial purposes, you can restore the changed
configuration
to the original status by temporarily enabling the software application with
the emergency key.
Caution:
■
If an emergency key is installed for a software application for which a
permanent or term key is installed, the
effective
term of the license key is
30 days. However, because the emergency key can be reinstalled during
the
effective
term, the
effective
term can be restored to 30 days.
■
In other scenarios, the emergency key can be installed only once.
Cautions on license capacities in license-related windows
License capacities are displayed not only in license-related windows but also in the
Pools
window and the
Replication
window.
When you install or overwrite a temporary key or an emergency key for an installed
software application, the license capacity before the overwrite installation is displayed as
Permitted (TB) in license-related windows. However, Unlimited (license capacity for the
temporary key or emergency key) is displayed as Licensed Capacity in the
Pools
window
and the
Replication
window.
For example: You install a term key that has a license capacity of 5 TB for Compatible
FlashCopy
®
, and when the term expires, you use an emergency key. In license-related
windows, 5 TB is displayed in the Permitted (TB)
field.
However, in the
Licensed
Capacity
field
in a
Replication
window, Unlimited (capacity of the emergency key) is
displayed.
Estimating licensed capacity
The licensed capacity is volume capacity that you are licensed to use with the software
application. You must estimate the amount of capacity that you want to use with the
software application before you purchase the permanent key or the term key.
