Example of licensed capacity of permanent key + licensed capacity of meter
key >= used capacity
The meter license is used, and the licensed capacity of the meter key is subtracted. Meter is displayed
in the key type field, and Installed is displayed in the status field.
If the used capacity is 4TB, the licensed capacity of the permanent key is 3TB, the licensed capacity
of the meter key is 2TB, and the effective term is 2 days.
Remaining licensed capacity of meter key / used capacity - licensed
capacity of permanent key .
= 2TB / (4TB - 3TB)
Example of licensed capacity of permanent key + licensed capacity of meter
key < used capacity
The meter license is used, and the licensed capacity of the meter key is subtracted. Meter is displayed
in the key type field, and Grace Period is displayed in the status field.
Restore the license status from the Grace Period status to the Installed status by any of the following
methods.
•
Add the licensed capacity of the meter key.
•
Add the licensed capacity of the permanent key.
•
Decrease the used capacity.
Grace Period status with meter key
With the license of the meter key, the amount of the licensed capacity of the permanent key
exceeding the used capacity is subtracted. In the
“Example of licensed capacity of permanent key
+ licensed capacity of meter key < used capacity” , Grace Period is displayed in the status field of
the License Keys window. The duration of the Grace Period is 30 days. The license for the deficient
amount must be purchased within the 30 days.
In the Grace Period term, the operation can be performed in the same manner as the Installed
status. However, as the license capacity of the meter key continues to be subtracted, the subtraction
continues even if the license capacity of the meter key becomes a negative value. For example:
•
If the licensed capacity of the meter key is -10TB and 20TB of license capacity is installed,
the remaining licensed capacity becomes 10TB.
•
If the licensed capacity is a negative value and more licensed capacity of the permanent key
than the used capacity is installed, the meter license is deleted.
