NetBackup licence for EV

Hi

Do I need to add an NBU licence to the master server to allow me to create a policy type of 'Enterprise Vault'? I was told by Veritas that EV agent is free of charge and that I would only need to licence the EV servers with a NetBackup client licence.

As the licence was free I was uncertain if that meant it would appear in the policy type list by default or if I still need to obtain a licence to make it a selectable option?

Kind regards

With the Partner badge next to your name, the assumption is that you have access to Licensing Guides on PartnerNet, right?

Extract from the 7.7.1 Licensing Guide:

Enterprise Vault - An Application and Database Pack license is not required for customers using NetBackup 7.6+. Existing NetBackup customers can obtain this functionality by requesting a new license key for NetBackup Server or NetBackup Enterprise Server from Customer Care. A Standard or Enterprise Client is still required.

Thanks Marianne

I don't have access to the NBU licening guide - will ask if I can be sent a copy.

thanks

If you have a Veritas PartnerNet logon account (that gives you the Partner badge and Accreditations), search for 'NetBackup licensing guide' after logging onto PartnerNet.
