Hello ,

I having Query on the Database configured on Vm machines , my question in this scenario is do we require seperate license for backing up the datbase of these machines. I am Having Enterprise license.

Yes, you need one Application and Database license for each type of DB per ESX server.

So, if you have 3 SQL servers on the same ESX server, you need 1 App & Db license.

If you have Exchange and SQL servers on same ESX, you need 2 x App & Db license.

License is tiered to ESX server (physical cpu's in ESX server).

Best to discuss license requirements with your local reseller.
