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 110). If you have questions about your service agreement, contact Spectra
Logic Technical Support (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page 7).
