Obtaining and Installing a License

This document describes:

How to install a software license, purchased with a 4006 Series storage system, during system setup
How to obtain and install a software license for a 4006 Series storage system that is already in use

The license file contains a license key that activates expanded functionality in the system. When license installation succeeds, the licensing change takes effect immediately. Because license data is stored on the enclosure midplane, it applies to both controllers in a dual-controller system and remains in effect if either controller is replaced.

Installing a license during system setup

Save the license file to a location on your network that the storage system can access.
Sign in to the Storage Management Console as a user with the managerole on the controller for which the license was generated. When you connect to Storage Management Console the first time, an onboarding wizard guides you through system configuration.
Follow the on-screen directions to install the license file.

Obtaining and installing a license after system setup

In the Storage Management Console, select Maintenance > Support > Collect Logs to download system logs so Technical Support can ensure that proper information is included in the license.
Contact Technical Support using one of these methods:
- Call 1-800-SEAGATE.
- Email frontline@seagate.com

  Provide the following information:
