Hi Lizette and Dana,
We have had PanValet continuosly licensed ever since the PanSophic days. Yes, a PAN2 of that vintage issued a hardware reserve for the duration of the run. I think that was fixed in 14.2, but not sure of the exact release. I never heard of any way to prevent the hardware reserve in the old PanValet. In those days, we used to allocate all of the pan libraries to a volume(s) where we could tolerate the hardware reserve. Otherwise, you can simply use CA-Disk or FDR for the backups. I would assume that HSM would be fine too, but I have no personal experience with it.

Like you say, it has been a long time ago.
