Veritas Netbackup Licensing

[Saydeelol]

I have tried and tried to understand our Netbackup licensing and I must confess that it's lost on me. If you can decipher our license certificate in plain English for me I would be most appreciative. I.e., what do we have licenses for? It looks like we have two licenses for Windows/Linux/Solaris, is this correct? I cannot make this out for the life of me :(

Please logon to your NetBackup console and go to - Help -> License Keys -> All registered license keys details

You may use this for detailed output - bpminlicense -nb_features -verbose

Best way would be to contact Customer Support or Sales Rep and later access you license details via my.veritas.com

I contacted customer support w/ a non-technical issue. We'll see if they can decipher the license for me. I just want to know how many server installations we have available.

NetBackup Server license means you have a single master/media server (OS either Windows, Linux or Solaris x86). You cannot add media servers or San media servers.
Only Enterprise Server can have media servers and/or San media servers.

You have 11 network clients of any supported OS (xplat = cross platform).
Two of these 11 have agents for Database or Application (e.g. MS-SQL, Exchange, Oracle, etc).

The master server has a tape library attached with 2 tape drives.

You also have license for 1TB front-end deduplication or OST ( DATA PROTECTION
OPTIMIZATION OPTION ).
