Hi Ed, Do you know if this is publicly documented by symantec/veritas? The vmware style licensing variation could make for a significant difference in our licensing costs.

In an open case I had support could only tell me of the "bpminlicense -verbose" command.

There is absolutely no good way to audit your licenses with any existing tool. You can have multiple virtual servers per physical servers (e.g. Windows cluster) that require 1 license per physical system, and you can have multiple operating systems on a VMware server that require one license per operating system type. You need look at all of your pieces of paper or orders and count your clients manually and hope you get it right. Symantec has been talking about their new license manager product for nearly a year around here and there's been no sign of it yet. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] Determining Number of Additional Client Licenses in NetBackup
I'm auditing my NetBackup environment to make sure that I have the number of licenses I need for clients and I'm finding the bpminlicense command somewhat unhelpful. When I run the command bpminlicense -list_keys -verbose I get output that looks like this file version= 0x0304 time added = 0x3c4bc801 Sun Jan 20 23:49:21 2002 hostname= kira product ID = 6 NetBackup Enterprise Server serial number = 3219 key version = 0x0304 count = 0 server platform = 0 Any platform client platform = 2 Any Windows platform server tier = 10 NetBackup Enterprise Server client tier = 0 No tier license type= 1 Permanent Site ID = 0 Any site Feature ID = 22 Additional clients + file version= 0x0304 time added = 0x3c4bc7ce Sun Jan 20 23:48:30 2002 hostname= kira product ID = 6 NetBackup Enterprise Server serial number = 4730 key version = 0x0304 count = 0 server platform = 0 Any platform client platform = 1 Any UNIX platform server tier = 10 NetBackup Enterprise Server client tier = 0 No tier license type= 1 Permanent Site ID = 0 Any site Feature ID = 22 Additional clients + How many additional client licenses do I have and how many of them come with Server? I'm assuming that 22 is a code for additional clients and not the number of clients. Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated.
