For VM backup, a license for vRanger controls the number of source CPUs that you can configure for backup. For licensing purposes, a multi-core processor is counted as a single CPU. For physical backup, each server protected consumes one physical backup license.

NOTE: Virtual and physical machine backup functions are licensed separately.

Trial license

You may evaluate vRanger using the trial license included with the product. The trial provides the following vRanger functionality:

•
Virtual machine (VM) backup: 30 CPUs for 30 days
•
VM replication: 30 CPUs for 30 days
•
Physical machine backup: 10 physical machines for 30 days

To continue using vRanger past the trial period, you must purchase a license and import the new license key provided to you by Quest. If you do not receive your license key, visit https://support.quest.com/licensing-assistance.

Extended trial licenses

Sometimes, it may be necessary to expand the scope of a trial license (add more CPUs for replication for example), extend the duration of a trial, or test a new feature with an already licensed version of vRanger. Starting with vRanger 6.1, you may add an extended trial license to temporarily augment the duration or scope of your existing license.

When using an extended trial license, there are a few key points to remember:

•
When applying an extended license over an existing or trial license, the highest license count is used.
•
Extended trial licenses make all vRanger features available during the duration of the extended trial. For more information, see the table in vRanger licensing levels.
•
When an extended trial license expires, or is removed, the primary license is applied.
•
When applying an extended trial license, the list of licensed hosts and physical servers is not maintained. When the extended trial license expires or is removed, you may need to reconfigure host or server licensing to match your original configuration.
