Hi elizabeta, 

The license file is communitalive  and the last license file you receive will have all the changes for your additional license and your conversion.

If you go to license summary to will be able to check your expiry and if the new licenses you purchased are displayed. 

You can only add the license in order they were created so if you skipped one don’t worry you cannot accidentally apply an older one after.

So, i should activate the new license now

    And that will now include the purchased 10VM package ?
     

    If a new license is added to Commvault server, will the system be switched to the new licensing method now?


    Thank you!

    Best regards,
    Elizabeta

Complete is the new licensing you have been converted to. The old licensing model no longer exists and thus to move forward with your new license (VMs) you will need to apply it.

If you have issue after applying the converted license you can directly reach out to licenseconversions@commvault.com

Hello,

So all I have to do is apply the new license that was emailed to us when we bought the VM bundle?

Yes @elizabeta the new license is a global file containing the latest update of your license. :slight_smile:

It is not just the update for 10 VMs, but 10VM + the rest of the converted.

 

The last sentence is very important : Make sure all features you have purchased have been activated.

But honestly to make sure of this while converting, you just have to apply the new license and then check the amounts.
