License Management Overview
System administrators can manage Data Director product licenses from the Licensing pane of the Data Director
Administration tab.
Evaluation
Evaluation licenses let you use Data Director for a limited period of time at no
cost. The evaluation product is fully functional, but support is not available.
Permanent
Permanent licenses provide full product functionality and never expire.
Support and Subscription (SnS) licenses are required for all permanent
software licenses.
When you buy permanent licenses, they replace any evaluation licenses you
might have. After you upgrade to permanent licenses, only your permanent
licenses appear in the Licensing pane. After you add a permanent license, you
can no longer add evaluation licenses.
The following are the vFabric Postgres (vPostgres) database usage types.
Non-Production Use
Includes internal development, quality assurance, proof of concept, or other
testing purposes.
Production Use
Includes use of vPostgres databases in any manner other than Non-Production
Use.
You can change the vPostgres database usage type at any time. You can create databases at will as long as
resources are available.
