Licensing
How is Backup and Recovery licensed?
Backup and Recovery is licensed by the number of PCs you want to back up and the operating system in use by
the PCs being backed up. In other words, each backup agent requires a license. In addition, the optional
Deduplication and Universal Restore features are licensed per agent. The other Backup and Recovery
components do not require a license.
What Backup and Recovery licenses are available?

How do I determine how many licenses I need?
To properly license and install Backup and Recovery, you need to determine the number of workstations and
server class PCs you want to back up and of these PCs, determine which workstations and servers require
Deduplication and/or Universal Restore. You also need to determine how many copies of the media pack (i.e. the
software installation DVD) you require. At least one copy of the media pack is needed to install the Backup and
Recovery software, but multiple copies can be purchased, as needed. For example, you have three servers and
five workstations that require backup and for the three servers you want the flexibility to restore backup images to
a different server, if necessary. Thus, you will need to purchase three Backup and Recovery Server with Universal
Restore licenses and five Backup and Recovery Workstation licenses. You also determine you only need one
copy of the media pack so you will purchase one media pack along with the licenses.
