Apply activation codes (real-time only)

Use this page to view, enter, or modify the activation codes.

Introduction

You must enter the activation codes before you can configure any of the storage on the storage unit. If you open this page after you import the activation codes from a file, all the codes are displayed in the associated boxes. Otherwise, the boxes are empty.
Note: Before you begin this task, you must resolve any current system problems. Refer to the IBM System Storage™ DS6000 Troubleshooting information. If you need additional assistance to resolve these problems, contact IBM Support.
