This document describes the license types and the procedure for obtaining
licenses. Licensing implications on StorNext upgrades is also explained.

Also included in this document is a copy of the StorNext End User License
Agreement, which you should read carefully before installing and using
StorNext for the first time.

StorNext License Types

Here is a list of StorNext licenses:

• File System: A File System license enables you to create and modify

StorNext-supported file systems.

• LAN Client: You must have a Distributed LAN Client license for each

LAN client you use with StorNext (in addition to any SAN clients).

• Storage Manager: A Storage Manager license provides full access to

StorNext's Storage Manager features that are not licensed separately.

• Replication: A replication license is required if you want to use

StorNext's Data Replication feature.

• Deduplication: A deduplication license is required if you want to use

StorNext’s Data Deduplication (blockpool) feature.

• Vaulting: A Vaulting license provides the ability to move seldom-used

media to a manual archive vault, freeing room for media in the
managed archives.

StorNext Licensing

• Storage Disk: You must have a Storage Disk license to be able to configure and use

StorNext storage disks.

• Checksum: A Checksum license enables you to verify data integrity by ensuring that

the checksum created when data was stored matches the checksum upon data
retrieval.

• Distributed Data Mover (DDM): A license is required for using DDM if you plan to

use additional machines besides the primary server to distribute data streams.

• Failover (HA): A Failover (High Availability) license is required if you plan to use

StorNext's HA failover features.

• Maintenance: A Maintenance license verifies that your site has purchased StorNext

upgrade licenses, and is required for StorNext upgrades. It is also used at run time to
verify the revision number in the software matches what was purchased.

Auto-Generated and Evaluation Licenses

If the license.dat file does not contain permanent licenses, StorNext produces an
auto-generated license with an expiration date for all StorNext products and features
except Deduplication. In some cases Quantum may provide evaluation licenses for
features. Evaluation licenses also have a fixed expiration date.

Beyond the evaluation period, you must have a permanent license to configure or use
StorNext features.

Note: You cannot mix auto-generated/evaluation and permanent licenses. Once you

enter one or more permanent licenses in StorNext, all auto-generated/
evaluation licenses are deleted. If you are using an auto-generated or
evaluation license period to evaluate new features, be aware that you will lose
any remaining time on your temporary licenses as soon as you enter one or
more permanent license.

After you have entered permanent licenses, you should not install an evaluation
license.

For more information about licenses and obtaining a permanent license, see
the StorNext User’s Guide or the online help.

Licensing and Upgrades

The new licensing implementation affects StorNext upgrades, both for release 4.0.1 and
future releases. Be aware of the following upgrade-related implications and plan
accordingly:

• A non-expired Maintenance license is required to perform a StorNext upgrade. This
means you must contact Quantum Technical Support for a Maintenance license
before you can upgrade to StorNext 4.0.1.

• The Maintenance license provided by Quantum Technical Support must be put into
place prior to the upgrade, or you will not be allowed to proceed with the upgrade.
This step is done by manually editing the license.dat file because the StorNext
GUI has not been installed and therefore you cannot enter licenses through the GUI.
This applies to upgrades to StorNext 4.0.1 and also to future upgrades.

• For future upgrades, for any StorNext feature or component currently in use, you
must have a license in place prior to the upgrade. Otherwise, you will not be
allowed to proceed with the upgrade.

• For future upgrades, after an upgrade you will still be allowed to run StorNext if the
Maintenance license expires. However, no future upgrades will be allowed.

• The Maintenance license must remain in place even after expiration to allow the
