Adding licenses
Your storage system software was installed at the factory. Storage Manager automatically adds the software to its list of licenses.
Before you begin
The software license code for the specific ONTAP service must be available.
About this task
When you add a new license in a MetroCluster configuration, it is a best practice to add the license on the surviving site cluster as well.
You cannot use Storage Manager to add the Cloud Volumes ONTAP license. The Cloud Volumes ONTAP license is not listed in the license page. Storage Manager does not raise any alert about the entitlement risk status of the Cloud Volumes ONTAP license.
