Obtaining license keys
You must obtain keys to use licensed functions on your system by connecting to the IBM Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) website.
Before you begin
- All Storwize® V3700 Licensed Function Authorization documents. These documents contain the authorization codes that are required for you to obtain keys for each function that you purchased for your system. For each license that you purchase, a separate document with an authorization code is sent to you. These documents must be retained since you cannot activate the keys without the authorization codes. If you are activating keys for a new system, these documents are included in the shipment of the system. If you are activating codes for an existing system, IBM sends these documents to you separately.
- A removable media for downloading your license keys into a file. Use the removable media if your system on which you are activating license keys is not connected to the Internet. You can also write down the license keys and then manually enter them into the system that runs the management GUI.
- The machine type, serial number, and machine signature.
