Netbackup Clustered Master Server licensing

Sorry but it was a bit tough to find a precise answer suitable for my situation

I have a customer that need backup master server in High Availabilty and customer has capacity based license of 250TB.

 Do we need an additional license at NBU level for implementing it as a clustered master server?

    Cluster license needed. 

    You need a license  for the clustering software as well. But from the Netbackup side, you are good to go if using capacity based licenses model.

    If using e.g StoreFoundation HA, 2 licenses are needed (one per node).

    Clustered master servers are only supported on a new installs. You can't cluster a existing master server.

    Hello,

    capacity license covers unlimited number of Master Servers, both standalone and clustered.

    Regards
