If there is no license after reimage Dell sc4020, is the storage completely unusable
I want to ask a question about Dell sc4020 storage，My English is very poor. The following contents are from Google translate，I'm sorry.
RT，I want to reimage the sc4020 to store the OS, but if there is no license, whether the storage itself can not be used even the most basic. For example, if I want to manage the unassigned disk (original available) and create an array, volume and other operations, will it not be executed.
Thank you！

You can use the SC as a door stopper.
During the initial setup the Installer GUI ask for the license and you cant move forward without provide one.

Hello @Jhon_He
I suggest you to check the EoL guide for Compellent: https://dl.dell.com/manuals/common/sc_softwarepolicycml_en.pdf

Without license, SC4020 should be a hardware boxes. But I know that some workaround to reuse EOL box.
