Assign a License

Arcserve UDP protects only the licensed nodes. If you have enough licenses, then the licenses are automatically applied to the nodes. If you do not want to protect a node, you can release the license from the specific node and use the released license to protect any other node.

Follow these steps:

1. Log into the Arcserve UDP Console.
2. Click Help menu and select Activation and Licensing.
3. The Activation and Licensing dialog opens.
3. From the dialog, click the License Management tab.
4. 
5. The left pane displays the available licenses on the Console Server.

Notes:

• For agentless (or host-based) backups the node type under license management window is displayed as Hypervisor or virtual machine based upon the usage type.
• For agent-based backups, the node type under license management window is displayed either as Windows or Linux even if the virtual machine is added as agent-based Linux or Windows node.

Important! The above behavior for agent-based backups remains same even when agent-based node uses virtual machine license.

4. From the right pane, select Unlicensed Nodes from the drop-down list and click Assign.
5. The license is assigned to the node.
