Symantec ApplicationHA is a licensed product. Licensing Symantec ApplicationHA is applicable to ApplicationHA guest components and is based on the operating systems running on the guests.
You have the option to install Symantec products without a license key. Installation without a license does not eliminate the need to obtain a license. A software license is a legal instrument governing the usage or redistribution of copyright protected software. The administrator and company representatives must ensure that a server or cluster is entitled to the license level for the products installed. Symantec reserves the right to ensure entitlement and compliance through auditing.
If you encounter problems while licensing this product, visit the following Symantec Licensing support site:
The Symantec ApplicationHA installer prompts you to select one of the following licensing methods:
Install a license key for the product and features that you want to install.
When you purchase a Symantec product, you receive a License Key certificate. The certificate specifies the product keys and the number of product licenses purchased.
Continue to install witout a license key.
The installer prompts for the product modes and options that you want to install, and then sets the required product level.
Within 60 days of choosing this option, you must install a permanent license key corresponding to the license level entitled. If you do not comply with the terms, continuing to use the Symantec product is a violation of your End User License Agreement, and results in warning messages

If you upgrade to this release from a prior release of Symantec ApplicationHA, and the existing license key has expired, the installer asks whether you want to upgrade the key to the new version.
If you upgrade with the product installer, or if you install or upgrade with a method other than the product installer, you must do one of the following to license the products:
Run the vxkeyless command to set the product level for the products you have purchased.
See Managing ApplicationHA licenses from the command line.
This option also requires that you manage the server or cluster with a management server.
Use the vxlicinst command to install a valid product license key for the products you have purchased.
You can add or view the license keys from a managed LPAR that has ApplicationHA guest components installed. You can add a license key through the command line or the Symantec High Availability tab. For more information:
