You want to install a new clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 system with a FA8080. The customer has
unused licenses available from a clustered Data ONTAP 8.1 system.
What should be considered in this scenario?
A.
You can use your licenses from the clustered Data ONTAP 8.1 system for the new clustered
Data ONTAP system.
B.
You must call NetApp Support for evaluation license keys.
C.
You can use your license from the clustered Data ONTAP 8.1 system for about 90 days.
D.
In clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later, use node-specific license keys that will only install on
the controller for which they were purchased.
Explanation:
Any clean installation of Data ONTAP requires version-appropriate license keys for
the Data ONTAP version and mode being deployed. Current policies require a valid support case
to provide new license keys for Data ONTAP versions other than the version originally purchased. Data ONTAP 8.2 and 8.3 Licensing Overview and References

from your KB
If a customer has a controller purchased with ONTAP 8.1, and wants to install Data ONTAP 8.2 or 8.3 fresh after wiping the system, are new license keys required?
Yes. The license keys for Data ONTAP 8.1 and 8.2 or 8.3 are not compatible when used for clean installations. When controllers are purchased, they are shipped with a specific version of Data ONTAP (for example, Data ONTAP 8.1 7-Mode, clustered Data ONTAP 8.1, Data ONTAP 8.2 7-Mode, etc.), and the license keys for that ONTAP version (and Mode) are posted on the NetApp Support site. However, if you wipe the controller and install a Data ONTAP version different from the one purchased, the license keys available on the NetApp Support Site for that controller (or cluster) will not work and new license keys will need to be generated.
