- For licensable Data ONTAP 8.2 features, the same license keys used for 7-Mode are also used for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.
- Data ONTAP 8.3 does not support 7-mode operation.
Note: Some features available in 7-Mode might not be available in clustered Data ONTAP.
If you believe you have a situation where new license keys are required, see KB article What is the procedure to request New License Keys for different versions of Data ONTAP?
