Apply Arcserve Backup Component Licenses

Arcserve Backup lets you apply component licenses after you install Arcserve Backup. You would apply component licenses under the following scenarios:

• You installed Arcserve Backup components using trial licenses and you want to apply license keys to the components.
• You obtained additional licenses to support the growth of your backup environment.

To apply Arcserve Backup component licenses

1. Open the Arcserve Backup Manager Console.

   From the Help menu, click About Arcserve Backup.

   The About Arcserve Backup screen opens.

2. From the About Arcserve Backup screen, click Add/View Licenses.

   The License Verification dialog opens.

   Important! You must always apply license keys using the License Verification dialog.

   The list box on the License Verification dialog displays the Component Name and the Install Type. The Install Type is Unlicensed Trial or Licensed.

3. From the list of components, do the following:
   1. Click a component.
   2. Click Use License Key.
   3. Enter the license key in the fields provided.

   Click Add.

   Note: If you attempt to apply an upgrade license key to a new Arcserve Backup component installation, the Upgrade Verification dialog opens. You must provide the license key for your previous installation to apply your upgrade license key.

   (Optional) Repeat this step to apply license keys to other Arcserve Backup components.

4. When you are finished, click Continue.

   The License Verification dialog closes and the license keys are applied to the Arcserve Backup components.
