NetApp Copy and Sync

Pay for sync relationships after your NetApp Copy and Sync free trial ends

There are two ways to pay for sync relationships after your 14-day free trial ends for NetApp Copy and Sync. The first option is to subscribe from AWS or Azure to pay-as-you-go or to pay annually. The second option is to purchase licenses directly from NetApp.

You can subscribe from either the AWS Marketplace or the Azure Marketplace. You can't subscribe from both.

You have the option to use licenses from NetApp with a marketplace subscription. For example, if you have 25 sync relationships, you can pay for the first 20 sync relationships using a license and then pay-as-you-go from AWS or Azure with the remaining 5 sync relationships.

Learn more about how licenses work.

If you don't immediately pay after your free trial ends, you won't be able to create any additional relationships. Existing relationships are not deleted, but you cannot make any changes to them until you subscribe or enter a license.

Licenses should be managed through NetApp Copy and Sync or the applicable website and not through the NetApp Console subscriptions.

Purchase licenses from NetApp and add them to Copy and Sync

You'll need the serial number for your license and the user name and password for the NetApp Support Site account that the license is associated with.

Steps

  1. Purchase a license by contacting NetApp.

  2. Log in to Copy and Sync.

  3. Select Licensing.

  4. Select Add License and add the required information:
