Registering Veritas InfoScale using permanent license key file
Slf license key files are required while registering Veritas InfoScale using a permanent license key file. Ensure that the license key file is downloaded on the local host, where you want to install or upgrade the product.
Note: The license key file must not be saved in the root directory (/) or the default license directory on the local host (/etc/vx/licesnes/lic). You can save the license key file inside any other directory on the local host.
You can register your permanent license key file in the following ways:
