Hello Kimengit,

You can best ask these questions to your salesperson.

EV license is paid for number of active mailbox-users. A user can have multiple mailboxes (1 license), or you can have (for instance) 10 groupmailboxes handled by 1 user (in all it is 1 ev-license).

Ofcourse, you need to comply to the requirements qua licensing, but EV does not do a check to see if you go over. Example:

you have a license for 500 users. You grow to 700 users, EV will remain working, but you should buy an additional 200 licenses. However, if in the growth of 200 new users, 50 leave, you need to buy a licnese for 150 users (+200 -50 active users..)

Call licensing support. They can explain thoroughly and officially.

Regards. Gertjan

SYMC ENTERPRISE VAULT STORAGE MGMT ADV EDITION FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE includes Mailbox Archiving ,Vault Cache,PST Ingestion and Public Folder Archiving.

So yes, you can use mailbox archiving with this license.

If the number of mailbox user increase to over the license level of both Storage and Discovery license, should I need to buy extra license to accommodate the extra mailbox EV archive?

Yes, if your number of mailboxes increases it is your responsibility to buy more license so you are in compliance with your agreement.
