vRanger editions

With replication now integrated into vRanger, and vRanger being offered in multiple versions, there are several upgrade options available.

Customers of both vRanger and vReplicator: The upgrade procedures differ depending on whether you want to manage replication from the disaster recovery (DR) site, or combine backup and replication management on the production site.
DR site: If you want to manage replication from the DR site to ease failover, follow both of the preceding procedures, upgrading the vRanger installation on the production side and the vReplicator installation on the DR site. You may use a combined license file for both installations, if the combined CPU count for each protection type — backup and replication — for both sites does not exceed the total licensed number of CPUs.
Production site: When both backup and replication are managed from the production site, start with Upgrading a previous vRanger installation, and skip to Step 4 of the Upgrading a previous vReplicator installation procedures.

If you purchase vRanger SE, you can purchase an upgrade to vRanger Backup & Replication. Similarly, you can also purchase an upgrade from vReplicator 5.0 to vRanger Backup & Replication 7.6.3.
