Licensing

The licensing utility allows you to install selected optional features on the SL500 

library. 

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.
