How to Manage Arcserve Backup Licenses

Arcserve lets you centrally manage licenses for all the types of backup source nodes that are added to Arcserve Backup Manager. The licensing model provides a single license to all the applications with a predetermined number of active license rights included in the overall license pool.

Arcserve products install SDK License with every release. You can manually reinstall, upgrade or uninstall. For more information, see How to Install and Uninstall License SDK.

Managing Arcserve Backup licenses helps you assign, release, and verify a license.

An active license is granted for each new user from the license pool on a first-come, first-serve basis until the total number of available licenses are exhausted. If all the active licenses are already in use and you want to activate license for a newly added server, then you need to manually release a license from one of the licensed servers and assign that released license to the newly added server.

Note: When no license is available, an error message appears in the Activity Log.

You can easily remove license rights to allow other servers to gain license privileges. From the Backup Manager, you can access Manage Licenses dialog and view the active license counts for each component. You can also manage the applied licenses using Arcserve Backup Manager.
