Portworx Documentation has moved to https://docs.portworx.com

Portworx Enterprise version 2.13 has reached end of life and end of extended maintenance. Refer to the release support policy doc here.
Upgrade to the latest version of Portworx Enterprise for continued support. Documentation for the latest version of Portworx Enterprise can be found here.

You can enable pay-as-you-go billing for an air-gapped cluster with no outbound connectivity by acquiring a pay-as-you-go account key from Portworx.

Note: Once you enable a pay-as-you-go license for an air-gapped cluster with no outbound connectivity, you currently can’t switch to any other license.

Prerequisites

An air-gapped Portwox Kubernetes cluster
An air-gapped SaaS key from Portworx

Activate the pay-as-you-go license key that you received from Portworx.

Verify if the license is activated.
