Installing a license
A license is required to expand Snapshot limits and to use Volume Copy. The license is specific to a
controller enclosure serial number and firmware version.
If a permanent license is not installed and you want to try the Snapshot and Volume Copy features before
buying a permanent license, you can create a temporary license one time. A temporary license will expire
60 days from the time it is created. After creating a temporary license, each time you sign in to SMU, a
message specifies the time remaining in the trial period. If you do not install a permanent license before the
temporary license expires, you cannot create new snapshots or volume copies; however, you can continue
to use existing snapshots and volume copies.
After a temporary license is created or a permanent license is installed, the option to create a temporary
license is no longer displayed.
To view information about system licenses
In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Tools > Install License.
The System Licenses table shows the following information about licensed features:
• License Key. The license key number or “not installed” if no license is installed.
• Licensed Snapshots. The number of snapshots that the installed license provides.
• Maximum Licensable Snapshots. The number of snapshots that the product supports.

• VSS. Shows that the VSS (Virtual Shadow Copy Service) Hardware Provider is enabled.
• License Duration. Shows the number of days remaining in the trial period if a temporary license is
installed.
The panel also shows the licensing serial number (controller enclosure serial number) and licensing version
number (controller firmware version), for which a license file must be generated in order to successfully
install.
