Obtaining an OpCenter License for AWS

Before you begin

Have your AWS account ID available.

Procedure

  1. Open a browser and go to the MemVerge license server; enter your credentials at the sign-in screen.
    Note: If you are not registered, click on the Register button and follow the instructions.
  2. In the Memory Machine Cloud Edition tab, click on Request License.
  3. Enter your AWS account ID. If you are requesting a license to use in the AWS China region, check the box marked AWS China Region.
  4. Click on Confirm.
    A License information screen displays.
  5. When the License State shows Pending accept, log in to your AWS Management console and go to the AWS License Manager console.
  6. On the panel on the left-hand side of the License Manager console, click on Granted licenses.
    The Granted licenses panel shows the licenses that are available to you.
  7. Select the license associated with the Product name Memory Machine Cloud Edition and Issuer MemVerge. (This is not the same as Memory Machine Cloud Edition license issued by AWS/Marketplace.)
  8. If you have not accepted this license previously, click the Activate button on the right-hand side, near the top.
    Note: If you are in a different region from the home region of the OpCenter license, a pop-up message explains that all license-related actions (activate, deactivate, etc.) must take place in the license's home region. Click on the Make edits in Home Region button to change to the license's home region and click Activate again.
  9. If needed, change to the region where you create the CloudFormation stack.
    Note: Once activated in its home region, the license is valid in all regions.
