StorNext serial number instead. If you are adding to an existing
StorNext installation and cannot locate the serial number, you can
find it in the

• A list of StorNext features already licensed and enabled on your
system.
• A list of purchased StorNext add-on features for which you wish to
enable licenses.
After you request licenses for the system, your Quantum
representative will send you a
license.dat
file (which contains
license keys for the products/features to be enabled on the system).
Save the file to a temporary location to apply to the system.
Note:
At this point, you will need to access the system via an SSH
session. You can connect to the system remotely, or you can
directly connect to the system (using instructions in the next 2
sections). Even if you remotely connect via SSH, you will still
need to be at the system to insert a thumb drive or DVD with
the license file.
System serial numbers are alpha-numeric. (Example:
SV1728CKH02059)
