Does the license go by logical volume or physical volume?
i.e. I have nine 1TB drives setup in RAID10 with one hot spare, which equals 4TB logical volume. Do I need a 4TB license or an 8TB license?

It goes by whatever space is visible by the Open-E system.
If it's a software RAID, then it goes by raw storage. If it's hardware RAID, then it goes by however much is available after you take awayhot spares, parity, etc.
So I need a 4TB license?
I'm using hardware raid10 and logical volume is 4TB
open-e told me in an e-mail that it I need to get the 8TB license, but you said I only need 4TB license. Which is true?

you can always try starting with a 4TB license and if you get an error that say that you are over the license limit then another 4TB license.
Thanks. hm.. I think I overbought the license then.
I bought the 16TB license and 8TB usable. doh!! I have 7 bays left I'll have to make use of those.
