After you purchase a license, you must apply the license to the CommServe server. Licenses validate the products and features that you use in the Commvault environment.
For new installations of the CommServe server, a license is sent to you in an email, and you must save the license file to the CommServe server. You can then apply the license to the CommServe server.
Before You Begin

In this form, you must include your CommCell ID, Serial Number, and Registration Code. You can copy this information from the License page. For instructions, see Viewing and Copying CommCell Product Information.
