Licensing

Astra Control Center requires a license to be installed for the full app data management functionality to be enabled. When you deploy Astra Control Center without a license, a banner is displayed in the web UI, warning that system functionality is limited.

You need a license to protect your applications and data. Refer to Astra Control Center features for details.

After you purchase the product, you receive a serial number and license. You can generate the NetApp license file (NLF) from the NetApp Support Site.

You can also try Astra Control Center with an evaluation license, which lets you use Astra Control Center for 90 days from the date you download the license. For details, refer to Requirements.

For details about licenses needed for ONTAP storage backends, refer to supported storage backends.

Note You can add a cluster, add a bucket, and manage a storage backend without a license.

How license consumption is calculated

When you add a new cluster to Astra Control Center, it doesn't count toward consumed licenses until at least one application running on the cluster is managed by Astra Control Center.

When you start managing an app on a cluster, all of that cluster’s CPU units are included in the Astra Control Center license consumption.
