Abstract

An information handling system includes a host processing system, first and second data storage devices having respective first and second data storage capacities, and a license manager. The license manager implements a first license, receives a second license, and implements the second license without rebooting the information handling system. The first license defines a first configuration where the first data storage device is visible and the first data storage capacity is available to the host processing system, and the second data storage device is not visible and the second data storage capacity is not available to the host processing system. The second license defines a second configuration where both data storage devices are and both data storage capacities are available to the host processing system.
