Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.0 Licensing

Title: RE: NetBackup 6.0 Licensing






A customer with NetBackup 5.x licenses purchased from Sun and a support agreement also purchased by Sun has received the following reply from Sun Licensing:

If the customer is running 5.1 it should be no problem. 5.x licenses will enable the 6.0 Netbackup media. In other words,the customer does not need 6.0 keys. It has to work fine.

Is this correct? The customers with support agreements from Symantec are getting new license keys for 6.0, so they may be necessary.

Thanks!

You dont need new licenses
to work with NetBackup 6 if you dont want the new features of NetBackup.
Im using a 3.4 key and it is working perfectly.

But if you want to enable
some of the new features you have to get a new license. (this wasnt needed
for any upgrade till now) 

That means that if you dont
have support and you find the media you can go to next version or any version. (But
you will not have support)



As I know sun customers are
not Veritas customers (They dont have a license certificate) and Veritas
doesnt upgrade or support them. The only support they have is from sun.

If there is a sun
customer in the mailing list, please enlighten us
