No.  The simulator liceses only work on simulators, not real filers.
Licenses are priced by platform, but older (i.e. EOL platforms) may not have
prices.
 
There's been talk about "home use" licensing, but I'm not aware if it was ever
implemented.

I know this probably doesn’t work. But if I purchase a old filer, would the simulator licenses work on that? How much does the licenses cost anyway?

Thanks, I thought that would be the case.

No.  The simulator is limited to 28 1GB virtual disks.

Can a simulator be used for real disk? E.g. I build a linux box and attach 36 external disks to it, would the simulator be able to see that storage? If so, how? Does anyone have instruction on how to do this?

 

 

Thanks,
