question 1. if I have 1 NBU Enterprise Server License can I use it to install on 1 server(phy/vir) as Master Server and 1 SEPERATE server(phy/vir) to install as Media Server?
so on this case with 1 NBU Enterprise Server License I will have 3 Tier installation of Master , Media and client Server?
and in the future if I have to add another media server to the environment will need NBU Server License?
thanks for help in advance..........

Yes, if you have 4 licenses you can do 1 master and 3 medias.

You don't say what licensing model you're using. I'm going to assume traditional. If that's the case, you can't do what you're describing. You need an Enterprise Server license PER SERVER.
From the Licensing Guide (which is pretty straightforwad and easy to consult, BTW) page 19
"NetBackup components (servers, clients, agents, and options) are licensed per physical system."
That's taken from the "Blade Servers" context, but speaks to the point. It doesn't matter if they're physical, virtual, blades, etc., if you're going to use a 3 tier architecture, each tier must be individually licensed.
If you're using Capacity licensing, that is included in your entitlement. If using Traditional, you need to purchase separate licenses for each host.
Make sense?

thanks Charles for the quick response. Yes I was talking about Traditional License.
So just to confirm incase I want to have 3 Tier Installation I will need
1 Enterprise Server License (Tier specific)- Master
1 Server License (Tier Specific)- Media
Clients ( Depending on what client requires)
Correct?
actually 1 more question if I have 4 Enterprise Server License can I use it it deploy 1 Master Server and 3 Media Servers?
