You must acquire a license file for each Capacity Pool used by the ONTAP Select nodes. The license file defines the storage capacity and expiration for the pool. It is locked to the License Manager through a combination of the unique license serial number assigned by NetApp and the License Lock ID associated with the Deploy instance.

Before you begin

  • You must have the nine-digit license serial number assigned to the Capacity Pool by NetApp.

  • You should wait at least 24 hours after the shipped date of your purchase order before acquiring a license file.

  • You have reviewed the considerations for sizing a Capacity Pools license.
