View a Licensing Report

Note: This feature is only for systems using the StorNext 7 (or later) licenses. This applies to a new system pre-installed with StorNext 7 (or later) software, or if you convert/migrate your system from the perpetual (license.dat) license model to the StorNext 7 subscription (product key) license model. To convert/migrate your system, see Convert from a Perpetual License to a Subscription (Product Key) License. See StorNext Licenses for complete details on the license types. Contact your Quantum Sales representative to determine which subscription license type is best suited for your environment.

The Licensing Report page on myStorNext (https://mystornext.quantum.com/) allows you to monitor your usage and perform other activities related to your license installed on your system.

Before you can view licensing report data, you must register with your API gateway.

To register your MDC with your API gateway, see Register Your MDC with Your API Gateway.
To register your Appliance Controller with your API gateway, see Register Your Appliance Controller with Your API Gateway.
To register FlexSync with your API gateway, see Register FlexSync with Your API Gateway.

After you register with your API gateway, the licensing report data is automatically retrieved on a randomly selected hour and minute of the day (see Configure the License Report Schedule for myStorNext on Your API Gateway to configure the schedule to a specific hour and minute of the day).

Note: You will automatically receive an informational alert email if your capacity for any given license is approaching out of compliance with the authorized use (the email notification is triggered if you reach 85% of your capacity). You can opt-out of the informational alert email (to opt-out see View a Licensing Report).
