About this task

If there is an issue with the software license for this StorageGRID system, the Health status card on the dashboard includes a License status icon and a License link. The number indicates the number of license-related issues.

Steps

1. Access the License page by doing one of the following:

   • Select MAINTENANCE > System > License.

   • From the Health status card on the dashboard, select the License status icon or the License link.

     This link appears only if there is an issue with the license.

   • StorageGRID system ID, which is the unique identification number for this StorageGRID installation

   • License serial number

   • License type, either Perpetual or Subscription

   • Licensed storage capacity of the grid

   • License end date. N/A appears for a perpetual license.

   • Support end date

     This date is read from the current license file and might be out of date if you extended or renewed the support service contract after obtaining the license file. To update this value, see Update StorageGRID license information. You can also view the actual contract end date using Active IQ.
