Enabling and Registering Backup

The Enabler Certificate provided with your Backup software provides the enabler code you need to enter to use the software permanently.

If you are updating from Release 5.0.1 to 5.1, these instructions do not apply to you. You do not need an enabler code to permanently use Backup.

How to Enable and Register Backup

1. Become root on your Backup server.

2. Enter the appropriate nsrcap command, as shown on the Enabler Certificate you received, at the shell prompt.

3. Start the graphical user interface version of the Backup administration program.

   # nwadmin &

4. Open the Server window.

   Fill in the name, address, phone, and email information requested.

5. Open the Registration window.

6. Select the Tabular option from the View menu, then select Print from the File menu.

7. Fax the output to the Sun Licensing Center at 1-801-431-3657, or email it to license@Sun.Com.

   After you enable your Backup product, you have 45 days to register the software. When you send the printed output from the Registration window to Sun, a unique authorization code is generated and returned for you to enter in the field reserved for the code in the Registration window. After you enter the authorization code, the Backup software is permanently enabled.

   The specific process you must follow depends on whether the Backup software you installed is for a new, updated, upgraded, or evaluation version of the software.

   • If you just purchased your first Backup product, look for the Enabler Certificate in your package. You need the enabler code on the certificate to enable and register Backup products. Follow the instructions provided on the certificate.

   • If you purchased an update to your existing Backup software, use the enabler code from the Enabler Certificate. Enter the special update enabler code with the command

     # nsrcap -v -c update-enabler-code

     Generate a new copy of the information shown in the Registration window and Fax or mail the output to the Sun Licensing Center. A new authorization code will be returned for you to enter in the Registration window, which permanently enables your updated Backup software.

   • If you purchased an upgrade to your existing Backup software, look for the new Enabler Certificate in your package. You need the enabler code to enable the additional support you purchased. Follow the instructions provided on the certificate.

   • If you already have the Backup server software enabled and want to evaluate any of the optional modules included with this software distribution, enter the evaluation enabler code shown in Table 1-3 for the product you want to evaluate. After you enter the evaluation enabler, you can evaluate the product for 45 days.

     Table 1-3

     Storage Node 2	775f2f7-2de9ba-a9902c
     Storage Node 3	f67378-ac6a3b-2e10af

   • If you installed the Backup server software for evaluation purposes, you have 30 days to use the software before you must purchase and enter an enabler code. If you also want to evaluate any of the optional Backup software products, do not enter the evaluation enabler codes. To use the Backup software beyond the 30-day trial evaluation, you must purchase an enabler code for the software you want to use.

   Caution -

   If you move the Backup software from one machine to another or change the ethernet address of a machine after the software is installed, you receive a message warning that the software will expire in 15 days. If you need to move your software or reconfigure your network, first contact the Sun Licensing Center to obtain a Host Transfer Affidavit to avoid an interruption in your scheduled backups.
