Netbackup License when running Netbackup Master Server on a Virtual Machine (VM)

[JW-MWAM]

Hi,

We would like to move our Netbackup Master Server to a Virtual Machine (VM - VMWare 5).

This would mean installing a new Media server on our current hardware after doing a P2V.

What type of license would be required to run Netbackup Master Server to a Virtual Machine (VM - VMWare 5) ?

Thank you in advance

You need an Enterprise Server license per server - so if you end up with one Master and two Media Servers you would need three server licenses

Hope this helps
