Portworx Backup includes a 30-days trial license, by default. Contact Portworx support to purchase an enterprise license.

NOTE: Portworx Backup licenses are based on node-count and node-hour, and you can check the node count when you import a license.

Perform the following steps to add your license:

From the home screen, select the License icon from the left navigation panel.
In License Entitlements page, select Details.
Click Import License:
In the Add License window, choose one of the following options:
- License Key: paste your license key
- File: upload your license key file
- Subscription: paste your subscription ID
- Airgapped Metering: paste your air-gapped metering subscription ID
For more information on air-gapped metering, refer Activate air-gapped license.
Click Import License.

License type changes to Enterprise in the Portworx Backup user interface after the license is successfully imported.

NOTE: Portworx Backup provides a soft licensing period to its users for all types of licenses. Soft licensing renders a grace period of 30-days to use the product even after the actual license expiry. In addition, users can back up, restore, and add nodes to the application cluster during the soft licensing period.
