License overview
This page describes how licensing works in a WEKA cluster.
A license is a legal instrument governing the usage terms of the WEKA cluster. When a license is applied to a WEKA cluster, the cluster verifies the license validity by comparing the license properties and the actual cluster usage.
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 following example shows a classic license mode. The Pay As You Go (PAYG) license is deprecated and is no longer available to new customers.
Procedure
- 1.From the menu, select Configure > Cluster Settings.
- 2.From the Cluster Settings pane, select License.
