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.
There are three methods to view or update the license key. Typically, you should update the license from the web interface. However, you will not be able to log in if the current license is invalid. In that case, you have to update the license from the Linux shell of the DPX Master Server.
Click the settings icon () in the menu bar. In the License tab, you will see all the information concerning your current license, together with the application and server details.
To update your license, paste your new license key into the License Key field and click Verify License.
You can also use Reports to view detailed license usage information. Click License Report – you will be taken to the Reports section. You may download the data or schedule regular report generation using the buttons in the upper right corner.
If your license key has expired and you cannot log in to graphical interfaces, log in to the Catalogic DPX Master Server through SSH with the root privilege. See for more details.
Stop the CMAgent service. See for instructions.
