Veritas InfoScale™ 7.4.2 Installation Guide - Linux

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 the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server. Failing this, a warning message for non-compliance is displayed periodically.

For more details, refer to Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager product documentation.

Note the following limitation in case of InfoScale Availability and InfoScale Storage co-existence:

If Keyless licensing type is selected during the product installation, checks performed to monitor the number of days of product installation are based on the InfoScale Storage component. As a result, if you do not enter a valid license key file or do not add the host as a managed host within 60 days of InfoScale Storage installation, a non-compliance error is logged every 4 hrs in the Event Viewer.

The text-based license keys that are used in 7.3.1 and earlier versions are not supported when upgrading to later versions. 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 license key file 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.

See Managing InfoScale licenses.

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.

You can use the license assigned for higher Stock Keeping Units (SKU) to install the lower SKUs.

For example, if you have procured a license that is assigned for InfoScale Enterprise, you can use the license for installing any of the following products:

The following table provides details about the license SKUs and the corresponding products that can be installed:
