Data Protection Advisor SWID only showing

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

Are you using a trial license? Page 49 https://dl.dell.com/content/manual25593780-dell-data-protection-advisor-19-12-1-installation-and-administration-guide.pdf?language=en-us

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the response.

I am relatively new to DELL DPA and has really basic ideas and just follows KB's.

how can I know the status of our license? 

I went to System settings > License

and this is what I've seen.

Looks like you have a permeant license. Try the following to get the license id.

For Windows:

Run the following PowerShell script from the system where the DPA Datastore is installed:

Get-ChildItem -Path "C:/Program Files/EMC/DPA/services/datastore/data/tablespaces/config/PG_13_202007201/16385/" -Recurse -File | ForEach-Object {

    Select-String -Path $_.FullName -Pattern "SWID=" | ForEach-Object {

        "$($_.Path):$($_.LineNumber) `"$($_.Line.Trim())`""

    }

}

Note: Note: If DPA is installed in a non-default location, replace "C:/Program Files/EMC/DPA/" with the appropriate installation path.

For Linux:

Run the following command from the Bash shell on the system where the DPA Datastore is installed:

grep -a -i "SWID=" /opt/emc/dpa/services/datastore/data/tablespaces/config/PG_13_202007201/16385/*

Hi Josh,

I have tried it and there is now output too.

Was the output the license or still blank?

Hi Josh,

It's still blank. 

I sent you a direct message. I might be able to get it from your account.
