Which statements are true of licensing in clustered ONTAP 8.2? (choose all that apply)
The correct answer is B. Licenses are node-locked D. Length of license is 28 characters E. HA functionality doesn't require a license. In clustered ONTAP 8.2, licenses are node-locked 28-character keys, and HA functionality is built in without requiring a separate license.

Why each option
In clustered ONTAP 8.2, licenses are node-locked 28-character keys, and HA functionality is built in without requiring a separate license.
Clustered ONTAP 8.2 does not use a base license tied to node count; instead, each feature license is installed individually on a per-node basis.
In clustered ONTAP 8.2, each license key is tied to a specific node's system serial number, making it node-locked and non-transferable. This means each node must have its own individual license key installed for each licensed feature, and a license from one node cannot be reused on another.
License keys in clustered ONTAP 8.2 are 28 characters long, not 14 characters; 14-character keys were associated with older 7-Mode licensing.
Clustered ONTAP 8.2 uses 28-character license keys, a change from the 7-Mode licensing model that used shorter keys. The longer format encodes node-specific information and supports the per-node licensing architecture of clustered ONTAP.
High Availability functionality is a core capability of clustered ONTAP and does not require a separate license key to be installed. Storage failover between HA pair nodes is enabled by default once two nodes are configured as an HA pair.
HA is a built-in feature of clustered ONTAP that requires no license, making this statement the direct opposite of the correct behavior.
