Licensing for Replay Manager
Replay Manager requires a license purchased from Dell, but can be evaluated for a period of time.
During the trial period, you can use all features of Replay Manager by leaving the Product Serial Number field in the License
tab blank. The License tab in Replay Manager displays the message Evaluation Copy. Product will expire in X
days, where X is the number of days left in the trial.
After the license is applied, the License tab message shows the license status of Replay Manager.
For Replay Manager installations that have been updated to the latest version, the license from the previous version carries over
to the new version. For new Storage Centers, you must purchase a license for Replay Manager from Dell.
