If your server contains multiple controllers and you want caching on both, you will need a separate license key for each.
HPE Smart Cache is a caching software designed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise to accelerate the performance of storage systems. It works by dynamically caching frequently accessed data, thereby reducing latency and enhancing throughput. This results in improved application performance, increased productivity, and better overall system efficiency. HPE Smart Cache is particularly beneficial in environments with high I/O (input/output) demands, such as virtualized data centers, database applications, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
If you lose your active key string, you can log back into the HPE My License Portal, view your redemption history, and re-download your previously generated keys.

for non-repetitive I/O like routine backups or one-time file access, where data isn't "hot" enough to justify being cached. Additionally, most controllers only support one cache array per controller. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Community Licensing & Compatibility Per-Server Licensing : A separate license key is required for every server where the feature is deployed. Hardware Compatibility Gen10 Servers
While HPE Smart Array controllers come equipped with the physical architecture to support caching, the advanced software algorithms are locked by default. An entitlement token or software license key is required to activate the feature per server. Key Benefits of Activation

Accelerates both read and write performance. Writes are stored directly on the fast SSD cache pool and deferred to the slower mechanical disks at a later point in time. Hardware & Software Requirements
Optimizing Server Performance: The Complete Guide to HPE Smart Cache License Keys
HPE Smart Cache continuously monitors data access patterns. When the controller detects that certain blocks are accessed very frequently, it copies those blocks to a dedicated SSD cache volume. Subsequent read requests are served directly from the faster SSDs, bypassing the slower spinning disks. For write operations, Smart Cache can operate in either or write‑back mode depending on the configuration and the server generation.
