Licensing
The licensing utility allows you to install selected optional features on the SL500
library.
Note – The Licensing utility is available starting with SL500 firmware version 1300 and
SL Console version FRS_4.00.
License Key File
A license key file can be delivered to you in the following ways:
■ Via e-mail from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
■ Installed by your Sun support representative
The license key file is a digitally signed image (.img) file containing one or more
license keys for features you have purchased. In order to ensure that features are
installed on the correct library, the license key file includes the serial number of the
target library and can only be installed on that library.
Each license key file is assigned a unique sequence number. The sequence number
ensures that only one instance of a license key file can be installed on a library at a time.
SL500 licenses are cumulative. When you install a new license key file, the included
features are added to the features already installed on the library.
SL500 licenses currently do not expire.
