Automatic License Activation

The Automatic license activation service requires the DataCore Management Console to have internet access and DataCore SANsymphony access. For required ports, see Windows Security Settings Disclosure

DataCore Management Console running on a Windows desktop client with internet and DataCore SANsymphony access allows automatic license activation even if the DataCore SANsymphony Servers do not have internet access.

To automatically activate a license:

  1. In DataCore Servers panel, click on the server group to open the Task Details page.
  2. Click the License tab. The license status for each DataCore Server in the group is displayed.
  3. At the bottom of the page, click the Activate Product Keys link.

  4. In the Activate Product Keys page, in the Activation Method area, click Automatic Activation.
  5. In the Contact Information area, enter the Contact name and Email address to be used for license-related communications from DataCore.
  6. In the License Product Keys area, enter each product key one at a time. A green check mark will appear when a valid key is entered.
    • If the product key entered is server-specific, a box will appear with the server names. Select the DataCore Server that the key should be applied to.
    • If a capacity key is entered, provide the capacity amount that should be applied to the server group in the box provided.
    • When all product keys have been entered, click Next.

  7. Read the license agreement. To continue, select the check box to accept the terms of the license agreement and click Activate.
  8. On the Activation Summary page, a message will confirm when your license has been successfully activated. Click OK.
