Managing the AltaVault appliance
Managing licenses
Managing unlicensed AltaVault appliances
When an AltaVault virtual appliance is deployed and brought up for the first time, it enters a 90-day evaluation period
and the appliance runs unlicensed. During this evaluation period, the full functionality of AltaVault is available for use
for proof-of-concept trial and evaluation. Once the 90-day evaluation expires, the virtual machine will only allow read-
only access to the data ingested into the appliance and new data will not be ingested. Once a valid license is installed,
the full functionality of the virtual machine returns.
By default, AltaVault appliances are deployed as AVA-v2 models, but can be modified to any other model (AVA-v8,
AVA-v16, AVA-v32) by using the command:
CLI (config)> license virtual-model <model type>
For example, to modify the default AVA-v2 to an AVA-v8
CLI (config)> license virtual-model v8
Reboot the appliance to change the model. The requirements for the new model will be checked and enforced after the
reboot occurs.
Note:
Upgrading a virtual AltaVault 4.1 or earlier model that is unlicensed will result in the model being reset to an AVA-v2 model.
Use the above command to change the model back to its previous configuration.
Managing licenses using the command-line
You can install, delete, or view an existing licenses using the command-line.
To install a license

CLI> license install <license-key>

command fails and it warns the user of any
unintended license installs of a lower capacity.
To delete a license

This enable users to switch a license that is already installed on a system with a different capacity.
