Appendix A: Adding or Removing Feature Licenses
Several Avere OS options, particularly FlashCloud, FlashMove, and FlashMirror, require a separate license. After you purchase a license, you must send your license ID to Avere Global Services, and they will provide you with a license key.
An automatic installation feature has recently been added for vFXT licenses; the procedure described here is unnecessary unless the automatic system encounters problems.
Adding a License
To obtain and activate a license:
- Navigate to the Settings > Cluster > Licenses page.
- Contact Avere Global Services, and provide the Licensing ID listed at the top of the Licenses page.
- Enter the license key provided by Avere Global Services in the License Key field.
- Click the Submit button.
The new license and its associated features appear in the Licenses area.
Removing a License
You can also use the Avere Control Panel to remove a license.
- From the Settings > Cluster > Licenses page, select the Remove button in the row of the license you want to remove.
- A pop-up window appears asking if you are sure you want to remove the license. Click OK to continue.
The license is removed from the list.
After removing a FlashMove or FlashMirror license, you will no longer be able to create FlashMove or FlashMirror jobs. Previous jobs still can be viewed from the Data Management tab.
