Upgrading your CloudPoint license
CloudPoint is distributed with a free license. It does not expire, and it gives you a chance to try out a subset of features in your preferred cloud. This license lets you protect up to 10 TB of front-end terra byte data (FETB).
CloudPoint also offers three paid subscription licenses. If you need more advanced features, you can upgrade your license and unlock the bundle that is right for you. CloudPoint's paid licenses are the following:
Enterprise - This license lets you take application-consistent snapshots of your workloads, such as Oracle, SQL, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). This license also gives you advanced features such as snapshot replication.
Cloud - This license supports only cloud plug-ins. It lets you take application-consistent snapshots of your workloads, such as AWS, GCP, and Azure.
On-prem - This license supports only on-prem plug-ins. It lets you take application-consistent snapshots of your workloads, such as array plug-ins, hypervisor, and so on.
Your Veritas representative can help you decide which paid license is right for you.
A CloudPoint license is an XML file with a .slf file extension.
To upgrade your CloudPoint license
- Use the download link that is provided by your Veritas representative to download the license file to your local machine. If necessary, copy the license file to the machine from where you will access the CloudPoint user interface.
The following example upgrades the CloudPoint Basic license to an Enterprise license.
- Sign in to the CloudPoint user interface.
- From the Settings drop-down list, select Licensing.
- On the Licensing page, click Upload License.
- On the Upload License dialog box, click Select File.
- Navigate to the location where you copied the license file earlier, select the file, and then click Open.
- On the Upload License dialog box, click Upload File.
- The License page lists the new license. The following example shows that the Enterprise license is active and in effect. The license is measured in terms of front-end terabyte (FETB) data. You can also purchase an Enterprise license based on the number of instances to protect.
