To create resiliency groups using virtual machines or applications, you need to install a subscription license for Veritas Resiliency Platform. The license is provided for a predefined number of virtual machines for a set duration of time. The license for physical servers is provided for a predefined number of CPU cores for a set duration of time. The extension of the license file is .slf. You can install the file using the Resiliency Platform console.

During the initial setup, a demo license is made available. This demo license is valid for 60 days, letting you evaluate the Resiliency Platform. Before the expiry date, daily notifications are sent based on the warning period that is specified in the license file. You need to purchase a subscription if you intend to use the Resiliency Platform beyond the expiry date of the demo license.

After a subscription has expired, you can continue to perform operations on the resiliency groups that are already created. However create new resiliency group operation is disabled. Note that to be in compliance you are required to repurchase the subscription to continue using Veritas Resiliency Platform.
