How to configure NetBackup Client Encryption Option

i am working to enable client encrption in our backup environment and found a link https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH72130 in veritas support site.

there are five steps to enable client encryption base on the document.

How to configure NetBackup Client Encryption Option :
1.  Push the encryption binaries to the client using the following command on the master
2. Install the license keys for encryption on the master server.
3. Create an encryption key file on the client by running the following command on the client
4. On Netbackup administration console In the policy under the Attributes tab there is a selection for Encryption that determines if the backup will be encrypted. Check the check box.
5. In the NetBackup Administration Console, Expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Clients, double click to launch client properties window. Click on  "Encryption" and Configure this client to be enabled for encryption.

but i don't understand the step 2 "install the license keys ..." , What license do i need to enable client encryption?
there is no additional license required to enable client encryption in my understanding.

Please hlep me to have a correct information.

Thanks in advance.
