Add a Software License

CSA version 4.90 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 4.90, 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.

Before you can add a software license, you must request a license using the licensing portal. See Request Software Licenses for more information.

To add a software license, log in to the Cloud Service Management Console as the CSA Administrator. From the Options menu, select Licensing. For more detailed information about adding a license, see the Cloud Service Management Console Help.

For information about how to view or delete a license, see the Cloud Service Management Console Help.
