Each client machine where you want to use the FlashBackup backup method would need it's own NetBackup Enterprise Client license.  Confusingly, this license key gets installed on the NetBackup master server, not the NetBackup client machine.

The NetBackup Enterprise Server license on the media server does not enable the FlashBackup functionality on any client, it only allows you to use the media server to backup other computers.

I am confused between the ENTERPRISE SERVER LICENSE AND ENTERPRISE CLIENT LICENSE?

server license is used on master server and client on clients?

You need an enterprise server for any enterprise client features. Like san client, san media server, flash backup, vmware image level backups, etc. But you also gain a few other things like designing a 3tier NBU architecture using a single master with multiple media servers.

so enterprise server license installs on master and enterprise client license on client?

[Will_Restore]

Server and Client Licenses are installed on the Master Server.

It is clear that you have copied the text in your opening post from somewhere else. Whe have asked you previously to include the URL. https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-licence-question

There is nothing confusing about license keys that are added to the master server.

The master server is where you create policies and where the different policy types must be available. The license keys enable the different policy types.

Thanks WR.

1.So on client we dont give any license?

2 On master server ,what is the difference between Server and Client Licenses ?

[Marianne]

My questions to you:

1. Have you ever installed client software?
   If you did - were you asked for a license key?
2. Tell us what YOU have experienced - what is the difference between server and client license?

Please read through EACH of the posts in the discussion that you found and copied from.
You wiil see this advice:

Your best bet would be to work closely with your Symantec sales rep or Symantec reseller

Have you tried to follow this advice?

i have installed on client.It has not asked for license.

Then What is this enterprise client and standard client license?

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

Have you read teiva-boy's post about Enterprise Client? Please have another look: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/licensing-27#comment-9275781

Standard Client allows OS backups only - MS-Windows policy for Windows clients and Standard policy for Unix/Linux clients.

Please reach out to your local Symantec reseller. They will be able to provide you with a user version of the Licensing Guide - only available on Symantec PartnerNet and not to general public.
