Cautions on license capacities in non-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 overwrite-install the temporary key or 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 or Replication window.
For example, if you install Continuous Access Synchronous with a license capacity of 5 TB by the
term key and when the term has expired and you use the emergency key, ”5TB” (capacity of the
term key) is displayed in Permitted (TB): on license-related windows, but ”Unlimited” (capacity for
the emergency key) is displayed in Licensed Capacity on the Replication window.
Cautions on licenses
Observe the following precautions when working with licenses:
CAUTION: If you use Thin Provisioning, the licensed capacity might become insufficient because
the used capacity of Dynamic Provisioning pools could increase even if you do not add any volumes.
If this occurs, you must purchase an additional license within 30 days to cover the capacity shortage.
For details on how to calculate pool capacity, see the Provisioning Guide for Open Systems.
CAUTION: When you remove Data Retention an error might occur even if the Permitted Volumes
column of the License Keys window indicates that the licensed capacity is 0 TB.
To resolve the Data Retention error and continue removal:
