• License Status: Installed
• Term (Days): N/A
• End Date: Never
• After 1:00 PM on 11/30/2010:
• License Capacity: 50TB, +100TB-Days
Consider that 25TB-Days are used after installation.
• License Status: Installed
• Term (Days): 4
• End Date: 12/04/2010
If the remaining 100TB-Days are completely used in the first half of 12/04/2010 and any of the
following is not done:
• The usable capacity is reduced to within the Permanent licensed capacity limit
• Extra TB-Days installed to monitor the 25TB usable capacity
• Another Permanent license installed to monitor the 25TB usable capacity
As a result, P9000 Application Performance Extender again enters 60 days grace period after 1:00
PM on the same day and 0TB-Days are available. In addition, it begins reducing (negative count) the
installed TB-Days by 25TB and updates the following fields in the License screen daily.
After 1:00 PM on 12/04/2010:
• License Capacity: 50TB, 0TB-Days
• License Status: Capacity Insufficient
• Term (Days): 0
• End Date: Expired
If 100TB-Days are completely used in the second half of 12/04/2010, P9000 Application Performance
Extender enters 60 days grace period on the same day but updates the License screen - List of existing
licenses section only after 1:00 PM on 12/05/2010. In this case, the License Capacity shows 50TB,
–25TB-Days on 12/05/2010.
Exceeding Meter based Term licensed capacity and grace
period
When the existing TB-Days are not sufficient to monitor the additional usable capacity, P9000
Application Performance Extender considers it as a capacity violation and enters a grace period of
60 days. During the grace period, P9000 Application Performance Extender begins reducing the
installed TB-Days. Within 60 days, if a Permanent license is installed, P9000 Application Performance
Extender stops reducing the TB-Days and ends the grace period for that particular P9500 disk array.
If appropriate TB-Days are installed, P9000 Application Performance Extender uses part of the units
to nullify the negative count and the rest of the units to end the grace period.
The every day reduction in TB-Days is equal to the additional usable capacity because of which the
grace period has started.
