This page describes how licensing works in a WEKA cluster.
Last updated
A license is a legal instrument that defines the usage terms of the WEKA cluster. When applied, the cluster verifies the license’s validity by comparing its terms with actual cluster usage. Only one license can be active on a cluster at a time; applying a new license replaces the existing one.
The license terms include the following properties:
Cluster GUID that is created during the installation
Expiry date (usage period)
Raw or usable hot-tier (SSD) capacity
Object store capacity
Data Efficiency Option (DEO) license (if provided)
The WEKA cluster license page displays the license properties: license mode, expiry date, raw or usable drive capacity, and object store capacity.
The Pay As You Go (PAYG) license was deprecated in version 4.1 and is no longer available to new customers. However, the term Classic License remains for backward compatibility.
Procedure
From the menu, select Configure > Cluster Settings.
From the Cluster Settings pane, select License.
You can display the license status using one of the following commands:
weka cluster license: Displays the license properties.
weka status: Displays the weka status, license status, and expiry date.
weka alerts: If no license is assigned to the cluster, the command displays a relevant alert.
Example: License status using the weka cluster license command
Example: Display the license status using the weka status command
Example: License status when the cluster does not have a valid license
Example: License status using the weka alerts command for a cluster without an assigned license
