Your SnapDrive license can reside either on the local host or on the storage system, that you are using SnapDrive to manage.
In clustered Data ONTAP, you can execute SnapDrive operations with only host-side licenses that have a SnapManager license on a host or the SnapManager_suite license for a clustered Data ONTAP cluster server.
SnapDrive 7.0 for Windows no longer requires that you have cluster credentials. You are only required to set up your virtual storage server credentials. You are required to have a SnapRestore and FlexClone license before setting up your virtual storage server credentials.
