Suggest changes
The license endpoints in the IPA service provide license management to the IPA. License management includes license registration, deregistration, and status checks to the NetApp-wide IPA.
The registration and deregistration API endpoints register and deregister the NetApp Console license to the IPA service.
Based on the various versions of the IPA service, there are several versions of the NetApp Console license registration and deregistration endpoints.
Similarly, the license status check endpoint has different versions that relate to different IPA service versions.
The following describes the mapping between the NetApp Console IPA licensing endpoints and the IPA product registration endpoints:
-
Registration and deregistration maps to
