    I don't see a way to do it via CLI.  GUI supposedly has capacity-based features but it's always said '0'.  When I inquired was told that's the way it is.

    Details should be listed on your license document.  If you can't locate it then contact Symantec.

    Hi,

    Capacity  based licenses and license features, you can find out in GUI itself....

    Open Netbackup Administration Console -> Help (Title bar) --->Click License Keys

    Check attachment for more details.

    If capacity license, bpminlicense will display one license key and list all the features that are enabled by the one key.

    For host-based/traditional license, multiple license keys will be displayed and each will list features enabled by that key.

    In ANY environment, 'someone' in the company will have the hard copies or pdf versions of the license keys.
    If you cannot find it, ask your local reseller (via email) to request your IBR (Install Base Report) or else you can contact Symantec Customer Care (link at the bottom of this page).
