Managing Licenses

The out-of-box version of DPX Master Server comes with the evaluation license which is valid for 30 days. To keep using DPX beyond that date, you need to update the license. Moreover, you have to renew the license when the current one is expiring or after you purchase a new license for additional features, such as block storage capacity, the number of CPU sockets, etc. Contact your account manager for detailed information about the Catalogic DPX license plans.

You can manage your license by registering its license key in DPX. You will receive your license key via e-mail after a new product release or after you purchase an add-on component.

You can get information about your DPX license from either of the management interfaces. See the instructions below.

Go to Help > About DPX License or press [Ctrl + B].

You will see the license information of the DPX Master Server in the DPX license window.

The DPX License window displays by category those options you have licensed and the number of licenses you have used in each category. If the entry displays in red, you have exceeded your license count for that option. Exceeding your license count may lead to an incomplete backup or restore.

In addition, you can download the license information in PDF: from the License window menu bar, select File > Show Print-Friendly Version and see the Catalogic DPX License Screen Report on your PDF viewer.
