2.3.3.1. Contact and Storage Information
The license information is displayed once the license is published as part of the license details
popup on the DX Storage admin console. To add or update this information, click the 'Edit' button
under the License Contact and Storage Information section of the interface and enter the desired
company name, address and cluster description information. Only the company name is required
but populating the address and description fields is recommended to assist with easily distinguishing
licenses from multiple locations. When all the desired information has been entered, click the
'Update' button to save the changes.
2.3.3.2. Entering License Keys
The license interface supports entry of two different types of license keys: hardware keys and
capacity keys. Hardware keys are used to determine the validity of the host hardware for each
storage node at boot. Unauthorized hardware will log a critical error followed by a forced shutdown.
Hardware keys are updated infrequently and, in most installs, pre-populated so additional entry is
not required. Once entered hardware keys cannot be deleted. Administrators who receive hardware
validation errors for storage nodes that are believed to be authorized should contact their support
representative.
Capacity keys are more commonly entered than hardware keys. Printed capacity keys are delivered
in conjunction with a hardware shipment. The capacity increment for an individual capacity key
usually corresponds to the capacity of an individual storage node. Each key represents a pre-
allocated amount of license space from 3TB to 480 TB. The sum of all entered capacity keys
determines the total amount of available licensed capacity for the cluster as a whole. The total
capacity for all keys is displayed at the bottom of the license key grid for easy validation.
Both types of license keys are represented by an encoded string broken down into 6 groups of 5
characters each, separated by dashes (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX). To enter
a new key, click the 'Add License Key' button on the main licensing page and enter the capacity
key exactly as printed. When complete, click the 'Add' button to submit the key. Invalid or mistyped
keys will result in an error on the screen. To proceed, either correct the key entry or click 'Cancel'
