NetBackup 10.x licensing

Hello Team, 

We're currently using NBU 8.3.0.1 and would like to upgrade to NBU 10.1 later this month  

Q: Is a 10.x license needed or would the 8.3.x license still work ?

Thanks !

Master/Media: Redhat 7 - NBU: 8.3.0.1 - Clients: Wintel and Unix

 

  • Hi Thomas_Anthony 

    Your 8.3 license will continue to work - you don't mention whether it is a traditional or capacity based license, but either way the current license will operate with 10.x. 

    Is there any reason why you can't download new licenses for 10 - typically we suggest getting the latest license to enable all features to be unlocked (capacoty based licening only) - although I'm not sure there is any licensed features added between 8.3 and 10.

    Cheers
