Activating the Cyber Recovery license
Upload the Cyber Recovery license file to activate the license.
Prerequisites
Provide a Software Instance ID, which is created at the Cyber Recovery installation, to acquire the license file from Dell Technologies. The information icon on the Masthead Navigation displays information about Cyber Recovery, including the Software Instance ID.
NOTE You can request a non-subscription or a subscription license.
When Dell Technologies provides the license file in an email message, save it to a directory of your choice. If you must bring the license file into the Cyber Recovery vault, you must enable a connection from your desktop to the Cyber Recovery vault or use a USB flash drive.
