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.

About this task

After Cyber Recovery installation, a 90-day evaluation license is activated by default. You can perform all Cyber Recovery tasks. After 90 days, you must obtain a POC (evaluation), standard (permanent), or subscription license to continue to use the Cyber Recovery software. Warning messages are displayed before the evaluation license expires.

Steps

  1. From the Masthead Navigation, click the gear icon to access the System Settings list.
  2. Click License.
    The License dialog box provides the following information:
    • Expires ON—Indicates that the date on which the license expires
    • State—Indicates if the license is an evaluation license or is activated
    • Type—Indicates if the type is a POC, standard, or subscription license
    • Software Instance ID—Provides the ID that was used to acquire the license file

    The License dialog box also provides the following information only if the applicable features are enabled:

    • Cloud Vault—Indicates that the Cyber Recovery instance is running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure
    • IDPA - Active— Indicates that IDPA is enabled
  3. In the License dialog box, click Choose File, select the Cyber Recovery license file, and then click OK.

Results

The Cyber Recovery license is activated, and you can use all the Cyber Recovery licensed features.

When the license is about to expire, an alert is displayed on the dashboard, the Alerts and Events content pane, and the toolbar.
