Several functionalities of the Syneto Storage OS are available only with licenses. Storage arrays with a total raw data size of less than 1 TB don't need licenses. They run in demo mode and have all features enabled by default.

To order licenses, please contact your reseller, or write us an email at [email protected].


Available licenses
