Installing product license keys

The evaluation license for the NetVault Backup products is valid for 30 days. To continue using the product after the expiry of the evaluation period, you must install the permanent license keys for the server and installed plug-ins.

The server is licensed based on the NetVault Backup Server Edition and the additional options that you have purchased. The clients require a permanent license key only if a licensed plug-in is installed on the machine. For more information about obtaining the license keys, see the Quest NetVault Backup Installation Guide.

 
* 
NOTE: The permanent license keys for NetVault Backup are tied to the Machine ID of the NetVault Backup machine. When installing the license keys, ensure that you select the correct server or client machine for which the license is obtained.
