I
could be wrong as I do not use it and only spent about 30 seconds in
researching it.

I've been using Bacula since 2007 or so and have never been asked
for nor
needed a license key. We currently back up several hundred terabytes to
tape every month (which I think qualifies as "real use"), plus a bunch
more to disk, all without a licence.
Purely out of curiosity, what kind of tapes drives are you using, and
what type of interface is used to connect them?
We're using a mix of LTO-6 and LTO-7 tapes in a Quantum library with
four IBM Ultrium-TD7 drives. The drives are connected to the backup
server via an Emulex fibre channel HBA. Does that answer your question?
Yes, thanks. I have old DLT IV drives here, and it was tricky to keep
them streaming. Getting an LTO-7 (300 MB/s raw, up to 750 MB/s
compressed) seems like quite the feat. Stage it all to an SSD?
