756 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
Problems with automatic license activation
If connections problems occur with the automatic license activation procedure, the system
times out after 3 minutes with an error.
Check whether the personal computer that is used to connect to the IBM Storwize V5000 GUI
and activate the license can access the internet. If you are unable to complete the automatic
activation procedure, try to use the manual activation procedure that is described in 13.3.5,
“Activate the license manually” on page 757.
Although authorization codes and encryption license keys use the same format (four groups
of four hexadecimal digits), you can only use each of them in the appropriate activation
process. If you use a license key when the system expects an authorization code, the system
will display an error message, as shown in Figure 13-16.
