When using Capacity Tiers licensing, you need to acquire a license file for each ONTAP Select node. The license file defines the storage capacity for the node and is locked to the node through the unique nine-digit serial number assigned by NetApp.

Before you begin

  • You must have the nine-digit license serial number assigned to the ONTAP Select node 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 Tiers license.
