[ayodeji]

hi guys,

how can i know the extent to which i have utilized my license. e.g NetBackup Client Windows Protect Server v6.0 License.

is there any command i can type to get this?


thank you.

is available & license keys can be accessed via Admin Console/Help/License Keys...here you can add/delete license keys, show summary of active features, active capacity-based features etc etc.

From the man page for bpminlicense:
"...
The bpminlicense utility manages a NetBackup license file. The preferred method to manage NetBackup licenses is to use the Help > License Keys panel in the NetBackup Administration console. For UNIX servers, you may use the get_license_key(1M) utility to manage the NetBackup licenses, which is preferred to this command.
..."

Not sure about your specific requirements tho'.

 Hi,

Not sure if you have a license with Client Count feature (specified number of clients), but you can check the license key by running the following command

..\netbackup\bin\admincmd\get_license_key
