Adding an Activation Key

You must add an activation key after installing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric or adding a new fabric.

An activation key is provided when you purchase a consumption-based license. Adding the activation key enables the Data Fabric UI to display important details about your license, including the start date and expiration dates. You must be a fabric manager to add an activation key.

To add an activation key:
  1. Sign in to the Data Fabric UI, and switch to the Fabric manager experience.
  2. Click the Fabric administration button.
  3. On the Activation card, click Add activation key. The Add activation key form appears.
  4. For the Input type, select File or Text.
  5. If you selected File as the Input type, drag and drop the activation key file into the box on the form. Or, click Select File to navigate to the file and select it.
  6. If you selected Text as the Input type, copy and paste your activation key information into the box on the form.
  7. Click Add. Your activation details become visible on the Activation card.
