When installing Recovery Manager for Exchange, you must specify a valid license file.
To specify a license file
In the dialog box that opens, locate the Quest license file (*.dlv) and click Open.
For information about managing licenses, see the User Guide supplied with this release.
The Recovery Manager for Exchange license file contains a certain number of licenses for Exchange and Domino mailboxes and Personal Folders (.pst) files. Recovery Manager for Exchange allocates licenses from the installed license file to mailboxes or .pst files when you perform any of these actions:
Recovery Manager for Exchange allocates licenses to all mailboxes the store or database includes. When you register the same store or database again (from another backup, for example), the mailboxes are recounted and their total number is updated with the new number of mailboxes held in the store or database being registered.
A primary mailbox and its associated archive mailbox are regarded as one mailbox.
Recovery Manager for Exchange allocates licenses to all online mailboxes in the on-premises or cloudbased Exchange organization to which the registered mailbox belongs.
A primary Exchange mailbox and its associated archive mailbox are regarded as one mailbox.
When you have expended all licenses in the installed license file (that is, all licenses have been allocated to mailboxes or .pst files), to register new source storages you need to obtain and install a new license file holding a greater number of licenses. Note that you cannot revoke licenses allocated to mailboxes or .pst files.
To upgrade, install Recovery Manager for Exchange 5.8 on the computer where an earlier version of Recovery Manager for Exchange is installed. During the upgrade process, setup transfers the product configuration and backup registration information to the new installation. As a result, all source and target storages registered with the earlier version of Recovery Manager for Exchange are available in the product after upgrading.
For installation instructions, see the Recovery Manager for Exchange User Guide.
