Configuration - License Keys window

Use the windows available through the License Key Editor node to administer the license keys for your Tivoli Storage Resource Manager products. Before you can use Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Agents to manage the storage within your environment, you must have purchased and assigned a license to each of those Agents.

Typically, you assign licenses to Agents when you install those Agents on their target machines. However, if you wish to update or change licenses after the Agents are installed, you can use the License Key Editor node to perform the following license administration:
