Request a software license

CSA version 4.80.0002 requires a software license. CSA licensing is based on the number of operating system instances (OSIs) being used in current, active subscriptions.

After the initial installation of CSA version 4.80.0002, when you log in to the Cloud Service Management Console, a temporary 90-day trial license is activated. Once the trial license expires, you are limited to 25 OSIs. If you created more than 25 OSIs during the trial period, you cannot create any additional OSIs. You can add more licenses at any time to increase your OSI capacity.

When you request a software license, typically you supply the IP address of the system on which CSA is installed. However, in a clustered environment, use the IP address of the: load balancer ([LOAD_BALANCER_IP_ADDR]) or the Apache load balancer node ([APACHE_LOAD_BALANCER_IP_ADDR]) when requesting a software license. The license should be installed on only one node in the clustered environment.

For more information on managing software licenses, see the Cloud Service Automation Configuration Guide. For information on how to view, add, or delete a license, see the Cloud Service Management Console Help.
