About licensing NetVault

When you first install a NetVault application, it includes a trial license. The trial license for NetVault is valid for 30 days, and can be used only once. To continue using the software after the expiry of the evaluation period, you must obtain and install the permanent license file for the server and installed plug-ins.

The server is licensed based on the NetVault Server Edition and the additional options that you have purchased. The clients do not require a permanent license file, unless they are running a NetVault Client or plug-in older than version 13.0 . NetVault 13.2 does not require license files to installed on clients. All license files must be installed on the NetVault Server. For more information about licenses for plug-ins released prior to NetVault 13.0, see the Quest NetVault 13.2 Release Notes.

The permanent license file for NetVault is tied to the particular server where it is installed using the Machine ID. To obtain the permanent license file, locate the relevant Machine ID, and submit the request using the online licensing form.

Obtaining the machine ID

To obtain the machine ID for a NetVault machine:
1
Start the NetVault WebUI, and in the Navigation pane, click License Management.
2
In the Client Details list, note the machine ID for the applicable server or client entry.
