1.4 Solarflare AppFlex™ Technology Licensing.
Solarflare AppFlex technology allows Solarflare server adapters to be selectively
configured to enable on ‐ board applications. AppFlex licenses are required to enable
selected functionality on the Solarflare XtremeScale™ and Flareon™ adapters and
on the AOE ApplicationOnload™ Engine.
Customers can obtain access to AppFlex applications via their Solarflare sales
channel by obtaining the corresponding AppFlex authorization code. The
authorization code allows the customer to generate licenses at the MyAppFlex page
at https://support.solarflare.com/myappflex .
The sfkey utility application is used to install the generated license key file on
selected adapters. For detailed instructions for sfkey and license installation refer to
License Install with sfkey on page 100 .
