U
PGRADES
Overview Activation keys are required to enable the BlueScale Software
Support license and any library options and upgrades you purchase. These
activation keys are tied to the library serial number (the hardware ID). The
library ships with paper copies of the activation keys for the initial
BlueScale Software Support license, the initial licensed slot capacity, and
any additional options you purchased with the library. You must enter the
activation key for the BlueScale Software Support license and each option
into the library to make the option available for use.
Requirements for updating the library BlueScale software A valid
BlueScale Software Support key is required in order to update the library’s
BlueScale software and component firmware. When you renew or extend
your service contract, you receive an activation key that must be entered
into the System Configuration screen to enable continued BlueScale
updates.
Important
Your initial library purchase includes a BlueScale Software Support key that is valid
for the duration of the warranty period, or for the duration of any uplifted or
extended service contract you purchased with the library, whichever is longer.
When you renew or extend your service contract, you must generate a new
BlueScale Software Support key and enter the new key into the library to allow
continued access to BlueScale upgrades (see Obtain the Option Activation Key on
page 105). If you have questions about your service agreement, contact Spectra
Logic Technical Support (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page 7).
