I need Nutanix Files licence please tell me the procedure.

Hello @Rajeshkumar1504 

How many used capacity will be used in TiB?


@Moustafa Hindawi I need starter licence only.


Just install it with MAX 1TiB size and you are good to go. 


@JeroenTielen  I am not able to install it as I don’t have access to support portal to download it. Now guide me on that please.


@Moustafa Hindawi I need starter licence only.

Hello @Rajeshkumar1504 

Files needs PRO license, Start licenses for Nutanix Objects only.

However, your NCI or AOS license includes free Files license for 1 TiB. To add more your NCI or AOS has to be PRO license first.

As @JeroenTielen said, deploy Files with 1 TiB , I am not sure it will be free on community edition or not.


Well you can use it on you community edition. There is a download in the “upgrade software” section. But you cluster needs to have access to the internet. 


@JeroenTielen Can you please tell me , How can i give my cluster access to the internet.?


Make sure the dns and gateway is configured correctly. Although if you are running an older version of ce you will not see the download option.
