Licensing notes
Review the following licensing notes before you install or upgrade the product.
If you are installing the product for the first time, the Keyless option is selected by default. However, you can also choose to install the product using a permanent license.
If you use a keyless license option, you must configure Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager within two months of product installation and add the node as a managed host to a Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server. Failing this, a warning message for non-compliance is displayed periodically.
For more details on configuring Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager, refer to Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager product documentation.
The text-based license keys that are used in version 7.3.1 and earlier are not supported when upgrading to version 7.4 and later. If your current product is installed using a permanent license key and you do not have a permanent license key file for the newer InfoScale version, you can temporarily upgrade using the keyless licensing. Then you must procure a permanent license key file from the Veritas license certificate and portal within 60 days, and upgrade using the permanent key to continue using the product.
The license key file must be present on the same node where you are trying to install the product.
You can manage the license keys using the vxlicinstupgrade utility.
Before upgrading the product, review the licensing details and back up the older license key. If the upgrade fails for some reason, you can temporarily revert to the older product using the older license key to avoid any application downtime.
