License Capacity Displays Permanent licensed capacity plus the installed TB-
Days.
Example, 50TB, +90TB-Days
Term (Days) Displays N/A.
Term (Days) indicates the total number of days when the
installed 90TB-Days can be used. In this case, as the physical
usable capacity is within the Permanent licensed capacity limit,
the 90TB-Days are dormant and the Term (Days) are not shown.
License Status Displays the status as Installed.
End Date Displays Never.This is because, the Permanent license which
is for an unlimited duration is currently active.
Consider that the physical usable capacity exceeds the 50TB Permanent licensed capacity by 10TB in
the first half of 12/03/2010. As a result, the 90TB-Days are activated and PA uses 10TB-Days, and
updates the following fields after 1:00 PM on the same day.
On 12/03/2010:

License Capacity Displays 50TB, +80TB-Days
This is because, 10TB-Days are used on 12/03/2010 to monitor
the additional 10TB physical usable capacity on that day. It also
indicates that +80TB-Days remain that can be used.
Term (Days) Displays 8.
Eight days is the remaining duration when the +80TB-Days can
be used.
License Status Displays the status as Installed.
End Date Displays 12/10/2010.
Calculated as eight days starting from 12/03/2010.
Consider that the physical usable capacity exceeds the 50TB Permanent licensed capacity by 10TB in
the second half of 12/03/2010. As a result, PA updates the above listed fields after 1:00 PM only on the
next day (12/04/2010), though the 10TB-Days are already used from the 90TB-Days on 12/03/2010.
After the installed TB-Days are completely used and one of the following actions is not completed, PA
enters 60 days grace period for that particular XP7 disk array:
• A Permanent or appropriate TB-Days of Meter based Term license installed to monitor the additional
physical usable capacity.
• The additional physical usable capacity reduced to match the Permanent licensed capacity.
