You can upload
PowerFlex licenses in
PowerFlex Manager.
About this task
You can upload a
PowerFlex license file for two use cases:
Production License for a single system and if you have an
PowerFlex appliance or
PowerFlex rack system
Management Data Store (MDS) license for the internal
PowerFlex management controller
In either case, the license is a single file.
No license is required for the first 90 days of use. During this period, you are running
PowerFlex in trial mode, and all features are enabled.
PowerFlex Manager shows an alert on the
Monitoring > Alerts page when you are running in trial mode.
Prerequisites
You need to deploy the MDM cluster before uploading a
PowerFlex license. You need to discover an MDS Gateway before uploading an MDS license.

On the menu bar, click
Settings and then click
License Management.
Click
PowerFlex License.
To upload an MDS license, click
Choose File to Browse in the
Management Data Store (MDS) License section, select the license file, and click

Results
When you upload a license file,
PowerFlex Manager checks the license file to ensure that it is valid.
After the upload is complete,
PowerFlex Manager stores the license details and displays them on the
PowerFlex Manager License page. You can see the installation ID, system name, and SWID for
PowerFlex. In addition, you can see the total licensed capacity, as well as the license capacity left. You can upload a second license, as long as the license is equal to or more than the total system capacity.
