 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?
