Introduction
About this guide
The information in this guide assumes that the EMC
®
NetWorker
®
software is installed and that all of the software and hardware requirements have been met on the computer that accesses the NetWorker Management Console (NMC) interface, known as the
Console. These requirements are described in the EMC NetWorker Installation Guide .
The following sections describe which licensing models you can use to permanently license the NetWorker software.
Important information for new and upgraded installations of
NetWorker
The EMC Licensing Solution, available starting with NetWorker 9.0, allows new customers the ability to use Capacity Entitlement, where capacity can be shared among NetWorker
Servers. If you are an existing customer, you can use the EMC Licensing Solution, or you can continue to use the traditional enabler-based licensing from your previous NetWorker version when you install or upgrade to the NetWorker 9.0 server by applying an Update
Entitlement to the EMC License Server.
Also, you can use traditional enabler-based licensing under the following circumstances where you have unused enablers or want to move enablers off an old NetWorker Server to a new NetWorker Server running NetWorker 9.0.x.
Note
EMC is working on a Conversion tool which simplifies the conversion from traditional enabler-based licensing to the EMC Licensing Solution with the Capacity Entitlement. This guide will be updated with this information when the tool is available. Customers requiring conversion from traditional NetWorker 8.x capacity-based enabler licensing to the NetWorker 9.0 EMC Licensing Solution with the Capacity Entitlement must submit a conversion request to licensing. The request should include your original sales order number and the LAC number so that EMC Licensing can issue the correct capacity entitlement. Also, the request must include the IP Address and hostname of the License
Server.
New installation of NetWorker 9.0 with unused or new enablers from previous
NetWorker versions
If you have unused or new enablers from a NetWorker 8.1.x or 8.2.x release, you can still use these enablers on a new NetWorker 9.0.x server by applying them in the Server
Properties window in NMC and having them authorized by EMC Licensing.
This procedure still requires installation of the EMC License Server and application of a
License file with Update Entitlement.
1. If not already installed, install the NetWorker 9.0 server and the EMC License Server.
2. Apply the unused or new enablers to the NetWorker 9.0 server through the Server
Properties window in NMC.
3. Contact [email protected]
.
4. Request authorization of the unused or new enablers from Licensing, and request an
Update Entitlement License file for the EMC License Server.

EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
Introduction
Note
When making this request, include information such as Customer #, SO#, IP Address of the License Server, IP address of the NetWorker server, and Host ID of the
NetWorker Server. To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker Server on Linux, run nsrlic -p | grep "host id" . To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker Server on Windows, run nsrlic -p | findstr "host id"
5. Apply the License file with the Update Entitlement provided by EMC Licensing to the
License Server and the NetWorker server, as described in the section
Requirements for new and upgraded installations on page 18 .
Upgrading from traditional licensing without upgrading the NetWorker 8.x.x server
If you have a NetWorker 8.x.x server with enablers from NetWorker 8.1.x or 8.2.x and want to move the enablers to a new server with NetWorker 9.0 without upgrading the existing
NetWorker 8.x.x server, perform the following.
1. If not already installed, install the NetWorker 9.0 server and the EMC License Server.
2. Contact [email protected]
.
3. Request a Host Transfer Affidavit to move the enablers from the old NetWorker Server to a new Installation of NetWorker 9.0.x on new hardware, and request a License file that includes an Update Entitlement.
Note
When making this request, include information such as Customer #, SO#, IP address of the License Server, IP address of the NetWorker server, and Host ID of the
NetWorker Server. To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker Server on Linux, run nsrlic -p | grep "host id" . To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker Server on Windows, run nsrlic -p | findstr "host id".
4. Apply the transferred enablers to the NetWorker 9.0 server through the Server
Properties window in NMC.
5. Apply the License file with the Update Entitlement provided by EMC Licensing to the
NetWorker server and the EMC License Server, as described in the section
Requirements for new and upgraded installations on page 18 .
Upgrading from traditional licensing on UNIX to a new installation on Linux or
Windows
If you are on UNIX and want to move to a new installation of the NetWorker 9.0 server on
Linux or Windows, perform the following.
1. Contact your account manager.
2. After your enablers are transferred from UNIX enablers to either Windows or Linux: a. Follow the steps that are outlined in the section "New installation of NetWorker
9.0 with unused enablers from previous NetWorker versions" to install the
NetWorker software on Linux or Windows with your UNIX enablers.
b. Have these enablers authorized by EMC Licensing.
Upgrading from traditional licensing without upgrading the NetWorker 8.x.x server

Introduction
Note
If you are planning on performing a NetWorker Server migration from UNIX to Linux or
Windows where you are bringing over the media database information from the old server to the new server, contact your account manager who will make arrangements with
Professional Services.
Determining license model options by version
For new installations of NetWorker 9.0, you must use the EMC Licensing Solution. When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.0 from a previous release, you can continue to use your previous model (for example, traditional enabler-based licensing), or use the EMC
Licensing Solution with the capacity entitlement.
Review this section to determine which NetWorker licensing model to use. The following tables compare licensing between NetWorker versions and available licensing models, as well as the tools used to manage licensing.

EMC Licensing Solution
NetWorker 9.0.x introduces the EMC Licensing Solution, a new EMC standard for licensing in software products. The EMC Licensing Solution uses an EMC License Server and reads a license file to determine which products are licensed and how much storage space to request for each datazone in the environment.
All new installations of NetWorker 9.0.x use the EMC Licensing Solution. The chapter
"EMC Licensing Solution" in the EMC NetWorker Licensing Guide provides information on how to implement the EMC Licensing Solution for new and upgraded installations of
NetWorker 9.0.x . This section also describes the new EMC License Server and the use of the license file.
Traditional enabler-based licensing model (legacy)
All new installations of NetWorker 9.0 use the EMC Licensing Solution with a capacity entitlement. If upgrading to NetWorker 9.0 and you used the traditional enabler-based licensing model with the previously installed NetWorker release, you can use the EMC
Licensing Solution with the capacity entitlement, or continue to use the traditional licensing model.
If you plan to continue using traditional licensing, the following requirements apply: l l l
Install the License server.
Obtain a license file from EMC Licensing that contains an update entitlement
(NETWORKER_UPDATE).
Set up the license file on the License Server:
1. On the License Server host, copy the license file to /opt/emc/licenses.
EMC Licensing Solution

Introduction
2. On the NetWorker server, copy the license file to /nsr/lic/ and change the name of the file to dpa.lic.
The sections
Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker on page 10
and Requirements for new and upgraded installations on page 18 provide
further information on these requirements.
Note
When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.0, once you enable use of the EMC Licensing Solution with a capacity entitlement, you can no longer use the traditional enabler-based licensing model.
Capacity licensing model (legacy)
The capacity licensing model in NetWorker releases previous to NetWorker 9 allows the use of any set of NetWorker features provided you do not exceed the amount of purchased storage capacity for the datazone. If you used this model with the previously installed NetWorker release before upgrading to NetWorker 9.0, you can continue to use the legacy capacity licensing model, or use the EMC Licensing Solution with the capacity entitlement.
Upgrading to the EMC Licensing Solution carries over any unused capacity and apply this amount to the capacity purchased for use of the EMC Licensing Solution. For example, if you purchase a 2 TB capacity entitlement for the EMC Licensing Solution, and had 2 TB of legacy capacity entitlement enablers remaining, you now have a total of 4 TB of source data you can protect.
If you plan to continue using the legacy capacity licensing model, the following requirements apply: l l l
Install the License server.
Obtain a license file from EMC Licensing that contains an update entitlement
(NETWORKER_UPDATE).
Set up this file on the License Server:
1. On the License Server host, copy the license file to /opt/emc/licenses.
2. On the NetWorker server, copy the license file to /nsr/lic/ and change the name of the file to dpa.lic.
The sections
Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker on page 10
and Requirements for new and upgraded installations on page 18 provide
further information on these requirements.
NetWorker License Manager
The chapter
NetWorker License Manager (legacy) on page 83
provides information about the NetWorker License Manager software used for traditional licensing, including information outlining how to enter and delete an enabler code, enter an authorization code, and how to change a License Manager server. Only the traditional model of licensing uses NetWorker License Manager.
Note
If you plan to use the EMC Licensing solution, do not install the NetWorker License
Manager software during the NetWorker 9.0 installation.

EMC Licensing Solution is expected to use a default or specific TCP/IP port number. For NetWorker, this default port is 27000. If a specific (non-default) port is used, it must match the port number in the license file. You can set the License Server to listen to an available TCP/IP port, typically in the range of 27000 to 27009.
You can start the License Server by using the LMTOOLS application (on Windows) or the lmgrd command (on Linux).
Note
EMC does not recommend running the NetWorker Server and the License Server on the same host. If you do run both on the same host, ensure that you start the NetWorker server before you start the lmgrd process.
License file
The EMC Licensing Solution relies on a license file to indicate the NetWorker features and capacity you purchased, or options made available for the purposes of evaluating
NetWorker.
When you download the NetWorker software and the EMC License Server software, you must also obtain a license file from EMC Licensing. This file must reside both on a platform that runs the License Server, and is accessible to NetWorker. Therefore, you must store a copy of the file in the License server folder, and in the /nsr/lic directory on the NetWorker server. When you copy the license file to this directory on the
NetWorker server, you must change the file name to dpa.lic if this is not the file name already. The license file is an ASCII text file for which the content is encrypted to prevent tampering or changes.
The license file can contain two types of entitlements -- an update entitlement, if updating from a previous NetWorker release, and a single capacity entitlement, which you can share across two datazones if you do not exceed the capacity purchased. All datazones can point to a single License Server to request capacity.
Management of the EMC License Server
After you install the License Server, a management application is placed on an accessible server. Complete the setup and configuration of the EMC Licensing Solution by using the
License Server management application appropriate to your platform.
On Windows, use the LMTOOLS application. On Linux, use the command line utility lmgrd.
The application should be running constantly to serve licenses to NetWorker. To accomplish this, the application requires the existence of a running vendor daemon,
EMCLM, which delivers license features to NetWorker and keeps track of counted features. The application automatically manages EMCLM by starting, restarting, and stopping the daemon as required. It will also write to the License Server's troubleshoot log file lmgrd.log to report errors and license feature activity. The lmgrd, EMCLM, license, and troubleshoot log files are located in the same directory.

27
EMC Licensing Solution
lmgrd [-c license_file_list] [-l [+]debug_log_path] [-2 -p] [local] [-x lmdown] [-x lmremove] [-z] [-v] [-help]
The following table provides command line usage information. The section
provides more information on available commands.
Table 6 Lmgrd command line usage
Term Description
-c license_file_lis t
Use the specified license files.
-l
[+]debug_log_pat h
Writes debugging information to file debug_log_path. This option uses the letter l. Prefixing debug_log_path with the + character appends logging entries. Use the -l option before other options to log all debugging information to debug_log_path.
-2 -p
-local
Restricts usage of lmdown, lmreread, and lmremove, as well as lmswitch, lmswitchr, and lmnewlog, to a license administrator who is by default root. If there is a UNIX group called lmadmin, then use is restricted to only members of that group. If root is not a member of this group, then root does not have permission to use any of the above utilities. If -2 -p is used when starting lmgrd, no user on Windows can shut down the License Server with lmdown, nor can they use the lmswitch, lmswitchr, and lmnewlog command line utilities.
Restricts the lmdown and lmreread commands to be run only from the same system where lmgrd is running.
-x lmdown
-x lmremove
-z
-v
-help
-reuseaddr
Disables the lmdown command so that no user can run lmdown. If lmdown is disabled, stop lmgrd via kill pid (UNIX), or stop the lmgrd and vendor daemon processes through the Windows Task
Manager or Windows service. On UNIX, ensure that the kill command does not have a -9 argument.
Disable the lmremove command (no user can run lmremove).
Run in foreground. The default behavior is to run in the background. If l debug_log_path is present, then no windows are used, but if no -l argument specified, separate windows are used for lmgrd and each vendor daemon
Displays lmgrd version number and copyright, and then exits.
Displays usage information and then exits.
Allows the server to explicitly bind to a same port, which remains in
TIME_WAIT state after the server restart or crash.

Start the License Server without a license file
If you have not obtained a license file, you can still start the License Server by using the lmgrd command. When you add a license file, you can also run a command to re-read the file.
Procedure
1. To start the License Server without copying a license file to the license directory, run the following:
/opt/emc/emclicenseserver
/opt/emc/emclicenseserver/lmgrd -l
/opt/emc/emclicenseserver/logs/lmgrd.log -c
/opt/emc/emclicensserver/license
2. To view the log file, run:
/opt/emc/emclicenseserver # cat /opt/emc/emclicenseserver/logs/ lmgrd.log
3. To view what is running as the License Server, run:
/opt/emc/emclicenseserver # ps -aef | grep lmgrd
4. Once you obtain a license file, copy the file to the license directory
/opt/emc/ licenses
5. To re-read the license file, run:
# lmutil lmstat -a -c /opt/emc/licenses
# lmutil lmreread -c /opt/emc/licenses
# lmutil lmdown -c /opt/emc/licenses
Lmutil application
In addition to lmgrd, you can also use the lmutil application to manage some aspects of the License Server. This application is available on all platforms.
lmutil application arguments
The following table provides valid arguments for most lmutil arguments.
Table 7 lmutil arguments
Argument Description
-c
<license_f ile_path>
Most lmutil utilities need to know the path to the license file. This is specified with a -c license_file_path argument.
-help
-v
-verbose
Displays usage information and exits.
Displays the version of the utility and exits
Displays a longer description for errors found
For the first argument of an lmutil command, you can specify one of the following commands:
Lmutil application
29
EMC Licensing Solution l l l l lmdown – gracefully stop a license server system (manager and vendor daemon) lmhostid – calculate a hostid to identify a system or user lmreread – instruct the license server system to reread license and option files, and start new vendor daemons lmstat – display the status of a license server system l l lmswitch – controls license server log location and size lmver – display the version of a FLEXnet executable
The following topics provide more information for the most common or useful commands to aid in troubleshooting License Server issues.
lmutil lmhostid
Obtains the MAC address system information from the current system. A MAC address is a valid node locking choice (HOSTID=) and can also be used in the SERVER line of a license file to identify the License Server. If multiple MAC addresses are listed by the command, use the first one.
lmutil lmhostid
Verify the MAC address with its use in any license files. If the MAC address does not match any of the relevant uses, then you may have entered system information incorrectly while activating a license.
lmutil lmreread
Forces the License Server to instruct the EMC vendor daemon to re-read the license file for changes. Execute this command if new or changed license files are made available. Using this command allows the License Server and the EMC vendor daemon to continue running and update its internal cache of license features from newly updated license files.
lmutil lmreread -vendor EMCLM lmutil lmstat
Use the following command to determine the running status of the License Server lmgrd: lmutil lmstat -a lmutil lmdown
Gracefully shuts down the License Server and EMC vendor daemon when you provide the name of the license file used to start the License Server. Specifying the license file name ensures that the proper processes are terminated. You may be asked to confirm the shutdown before proceeding.
lmlmutil lmdown -c <license_file_list>
Modifying NetWorker server properties in NMC Administration

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
Upgrading from NetWorker 9.0 and using traditional enablerbased licensing
When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.0, if you used the traditional enabler-based model of licensing in your previous NetWorker version, you can use the new EMC Licensing
Solution with the capacity entitlement, or continue to use your traditional enabler-based licensing.
If you want to continue using traditional licensing, you must still install the EMC License
Server and also apply the update entitlement, provided within the license file. The
sections Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker on page
and
Requirements for new and upgraded installations on page 18 provide more
information.
You can use the evaluation period, which provides you with 30 days along with an additional 15 days grace period, to determine whether you want to use the EMC Licensing
Solution or continue using traditional enabler-based licensing. EMC recommends upgrading to the EMC Licensing Solution as this model provides the most effective management of all NetWorker features and available capacity through the application of a license file.
About the traditional licensing model
You can download and evaluate NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, from the EMC Online Support website at https://support.emc.com
. The software can be evaluated for 30 days without an enabler code or license. After that, you can obtain evaluation enablers for each added feature to extend the evaluation period for
an additional 45 days. The evaluation process on page 36 provides information.
To permanently use the NetWorker software with the traditional enabler-based licensing model, you must license the software on the EMC Licensing site and apply the supplied licensing key on the NetWorker server. The license key includes permanent enabler codes and corresponding authorization (auth) codes.
How to permanently license the
provides information. Additionally, the EMC Software
Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides more details.
Base enabler
Each installation of NetWorker server software must be licensed with a base enabler.
Only the server’s enabler is called a base enabler. This enabler turns on the software and allows the use of a particular bundle of features, such as a specified number of clients and devices. All license keys are typed and stored on the NetWorker server, which enforces the licensing.
Base enablers come in different editions that enable varying degrees of functionality.
Add-on enablers allow a broader scope of features.
34
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
NOTICE
You cannot delete the base enabler. You can use the nsrcap command line utility to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler. However, once a base enabler has been upgraded or downgraded, you cannot return to the original lower function base enabler.
You must obtain a new base enabler from EMC Licensing. For example, if you upgrade from Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress back to Work Edition, the old Work
Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new Work Edition base enabler from
EMC Licensing.
The following tips apply to the base enabler: l l
As soon as the base enabler is typed, the evaluation mode ends. A function that was available during a 30-day evaluation mode must be specifically enabled with either an evaluation or permanent enabler.
When typing a group of enablers, always type the base enabler last to avoid disabling the non-base-enabled features.
Evaluation enabler
Evaluation enablers are free, and must be applied on the NetWorker server. An evaluation enabler extends the evaluation period for an additional 45 days. The evaluation enabler cannot be extended or permanently enabled. It must be removed from the production environment before or on its expiry date.
provides more information.
Update enabler
An update enabler is necessary to move from an existing major NetWorker release to a newer major NetWorker release, for example, from NetWorker 8.1 to NetWorker 8.2.
Updating within a minor release, for example, from NetWorker 8.1 SP1 to NetWorker 8.1
SP2, does not require an update enabler.
With NetWorker 8.1 and later, if an update enabler is required, the NetWorker software automatically adds the required update enabler code to its configuration. The update enabler expires after 45 days. You must contact EMC Licensing within 45 days to permanently authorize the update enabler.
NOTICE
If the auth (authorization) code for the update enabler code is not applied within 45 days, the NetWorker server software will be disabled. Typing the auth code enables the software even if the update enabler code has expired.
Update enabler alert
An alert message is generated 45 days before a NetWorker update enabler code expires.
This alert remains until the NetWorker update enabler is authorized.
To view the license alert, use one of the following methods: l

For example, if you upgrade from Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress back to
Work Edition, the old Work Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new Work
Edition base enabler from EMC Licensing.
To delete an enabler code:
1. In the Administration window, click Configuration.
2. Click Registrations.
3. Right-click the license to delete, then select Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
License process flow
To permanently use the NetWorker software to back up and recover data, you must license the software. The licensing process is the same for all editions of the NetWorker software, and for the individual modules and features.
The following figure illustrates the licensing process flow.
Figure 6 NetWorker license process flow
38
During the NetWorker licensing process:
1. EMC verifies customer purchase order. SysAdmin downloads the NetWorker software from the EMC Online Support Site.
2. EMC generates a LAC letter and emails it to the customer. SysAdmin installs the
NetWorker software in evaluation mode.
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
3. SysAdmin receives email with the License Authorization Code (LAC) and obtains the host ID of the NetWorker server.
4. SysAdmin applies the host ID and LAC in EMC Licensing to activate certificates.
5. EMC Licensing generates the certificates and allows you to save a copy of the certificate or send it as an email to the address of your choice.
6. SysAdmin receives an email that includes the enables and authorization codes.
7. SysAdmin applies the enablers and authorization codes for permanent NetWorker licensing.
The NetWorker license process consists of the following basic steps:
1. Download and install the software for evaluation.
2. Purchase the required NetWorker product, options, and modules from EMC or an authorized partner. The purchase order for the software lists the requested NetWorker product, options, and modules. EMC sends a LAC certificate by email in response to the valid purchase order.
NOTICE
If no evaluation period is required, the first and second steps can be performed together.
3. At the EMC Licensing site: a. Open the activation menu.
b. Type the LAC and the host ID of the NetWorker server to obtain the software license certificate.
Note
EMC Licensing confirms the license activation by email, and provides you with access to your permanent entitlements online. You can also send the certificate to an email address of your choice or print and save in a PDF format. The product license activation letter contains the license key (permanent enabler codes and auth codes).
4. Apply the license key on the NetWorker server.
How to permanently license the NetWorker software
To license the NetWorker software, perform the following tasks.
If required, install the NetWorker software for evaluation
If this is a new installation, install the NetWorker software according to the instructions in the NetWorker Installation Guide .
Installing the NetWorker software provides complete access to all NetWorker features for an evaluation period of 30 days.
Send the purchase order
Send the customer purchase order list of NetWorker product models to be purchased to
EMC or an authorized partner.
The purchase can include a variety of products, such as a NetWorker server, client packages, storage node packages, database modules, and deduplication.
How to permanently license the NetWorker software
39
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
Review the License Authorization Code letter
Upon receipt of a valid purchase order, EMC sends a LAC letter by email to the specified customer contact. The information in the LAC letter is used to activate the software license certificate. The NetWorker server’s host ID is also required for the activation.
Review the LAC letter, which contains the following: l l l l l l
A LAC to be used to activate the license keys for the products. A license key consists of permanent enabler codes and auth codes.
Instructions for activating the software and obtaining the license keys.
Software download instructions, in case the NetWorker software has not yet been downloaded in evaluation mode.
A list of the NetWorker products ordered, along with their SKU and revision numbers.
The end user site name and address. This information was posted at the time the purchase order was entered.
Contacts for licensing and support information.
NOTICE
Do not confuse a LAC with an auth code. LACs are used in EMC Licensing to obtain and activate the license key. A LAC enables you to obtain an auth code, but it is the combined application of permanent enabler and auth codes in NetWorker software that permanently licenses the software.
Obtain the host ID of the NetWorker server
The host ID is required during the software authorization process. It identifies where the
NetWorker server has been installed.
To ensure that EMC Licensing receives accurate information, use the host ID value displayed in the NetWorker Registration window. The host ID is an 8-character alphanumeric code that always appears in lowercase. An example of a host ID is abab1234.
The following steps should be performed by the customer, preferably a NetWorker system administrator.
Procedure
1. On the NetWorker server, start the NetWorker Management Console.
2. Select NetWorker Administration.
3. In the Administration window, click Configuration.
4. Right-click Registrations in the navigation tree.
5. Right-click the NetWorker evaluation license (or any NetWorker license) in the

As additional licenses are added to a host profile, these new licenses will be included in future downloads.
If required, delete all evaluation enabler codes
If your evaluation requirements extend beyond 30 days, you might have installed some evaluation enablers.
All evaluation enablers except for the base enabler should be deleted before the license key is applied on the NetWorker server to permanently license the software. The evaluation enabler cannot be permanently authorized.
Procedure
1. Save all of your old enabler codes in a text file: echo print type : NSR license | nsradmin > saved_enablers.txt
2. In the Administration window, click Configuration.
3. Click Registrations.
4. Right-click the enabler code to be deleted, then select Delete.
You should remove all of the old enablers from the NetWorker software. You can delete an evaluation enabler code at any time. The license is not removed when the software is uninstalled.
5. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
6. When prompted, repeat the license deletion task. This repetition prevents accidental license deletion.
You cannot delete the following enablers: l
NetWorker update enabler l
Base enabler
The base enabler code enables the basic NetWorker software. The base enabler can only be upgraded or downgraded.
If required, upgrade or downgrade the base enabler on page 43 provides details.
If required, upgrade or downgrade the base enabler
If already installed, a base enabler cannot be deleted. However, you can upgrade or downgrade the base enabler by using the nsrcap command.
If a base enabler has already been installed on a NetWorker server for extended evaluation, an error message appears when you attempt to install a new base enabler.
Use the following procedure to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler.
Procedure
1. Open a command prompt on the NetWorker server.
2. Type the following at the command line:
nsrcap -u base_enabler_code -a authorization_code
If required, delete all evaluation enabler codes

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
Apply the license key on the NetWorker server
The final step in the licensing process is to apply the license key on the NetWorker server.
The license key consists of permanent enablers and auth codes.
NOTICE
Even if you have installed evaluation enablers that have not yet expired, in order to license the NetWorker software permanently you must apply the license key. The license key is provided in the product license activation letter.
The recommended way to obtain and install NetWorker permanent enablers and authorization codes is to automatically import and install them from EMC Licensing.
If you cannot automatically import and install the permanent enablers and authorization codes from EMC Licensing, you can manually install the permanent enablers and authorization codes.
Use the following procedure to import and apply the NetWorker license key from EMC
Licensing directly to a NetWorker server or a NetWorker License Manager system.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the following permissions on the NetWorker server. The permissions differ for Windows, Linux, and UNIX: l
Windows: administrator l
UNIX and Linux: root
2. Identify the location where the files were downloaded.
3. Ensure that no NetWorker backups are running.
4. Run the following nsradmin command in the directory where the source_file is located.
You can run the nsradmin command from any NetWorker client, storage node, or server: l
To install the NetWorker license keys on a local NetWorker server, type: l nsradmin -i source_file > output_file
To install the NetWorker license keys on a remote NetWorker server, type: l nsradmin -i source_file -s server_name > output_file
To install the NetWorker license keys on a NetWorker License Manager system, type: nsradmin -i source_file -s server_name -p 390115 > output_file
5. Open and review the output_file for success or failure messages to ensure that the
NetWorker licenses have been properly installed: l
Success entry message in the output file:
If the first attempt to load a license was successful, an entry similar to the following appears in the output file:

Product licenses
NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded and evaluated for free from the EMC Online Support website or the media kit. The software can be evaluated for 30 days without an enabler code or license. After that, you can obtain evaluation enablers for each added feature to extend the evaluation period for an additional 45 days.
To permanently use the NetWorker software, you must license the software on the EMC
Licensing site and apply the supplied licensing key on the NetWorker server. The license key includes permanent enabler codes and corresponding authorization (auth) codes.
The EMC Software Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides additional detailed licensing information.
Using a licensing template
When determining which licenses are required, try using a template, which can prevent
“forgotten” licenses.
A template can also help determine the necessary licenses for a given configuration, which does not necessarily mean that all of these licenses must be purchased, since certain licenses are included in other licenses. For example, base licenses include a certain number of client licenses.
Procedure
1. Start with the NetWorker server (the base license).
2. Determine the desired NetWorker Server Edition.
3. Calculate the client licenses.
4. Calculate the dedicated storage node licenses.
5. Calculate the autochanger or silo licenses.
6. Calculate the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) licenses.
Product licenses
45
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
7. Calculate the Disk Backup Option (DBO) licenses.
8. Calculate any additional licenses, such as database module licenses.
NetWorker license tips
Calculating NetWorker licenses can sometimes be difficult. For example, recent software changes might not apply yet to the current NetWorker release.
Always check the current version of the EMC NetWorker Release Notes for your installed release for possible licensing changes.
Archiving licensing
The archive feature must be purchased and licensed separately from other NetWorker software components.
Before licensing and using the NetWorker archive feature, ensure that you have a device, either a stand-alone device or in an autochanger or silo, connected to a NetWorker server or storage node. If you are cloning archives, you must have at least two devices available.
Client connection licenses
Every computer to be backed up in a NetWorker datazone requires a client connection license, even the NetWorker server. The base enabler supports a certain number of client connections.
If more client connections are required, their licenses must be purchased separately. An
NDMP data server requires a special type of client connection license. Contact your EMC
Sale team or your authorized reseller for more information.
Note
EMC ClientPak
®
enablers are no longer required. Client licensing is now based solely on the client connection enablers.
Cluster licensing
This section discusses NetWorker cluster licensing.
NOTICE
Cluster client connection enablers are no longer required. Cluster client licensing is now based solely on the client connection enablers. However, existing cluster client connection licenses will still be honored. Each physical node of the cluster requires a client license. Virtual clients of a cluster do not require their own license.
Enabling the highly available NetWorker server
A client connection license is required for each physical node in the cluster on which you intend to run the highly available NetWorker server.
In addition, a storage node that is configured locally, that is, a storage node that uses a hostname that matches the physical hostname of the node that is running the NetWorker virtual server, does not require a separate storage node enabler.
For example, on a node in a cluster with the physical hostname Node A, a remote device defined as rd=NodeA:/dev/tape1 would not require a separate storage node enabler while the NetWorker virtual server was running on Node A. An example of this configuration is provided in the EMC NetWorker Installation Guide .
46
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
The Power Edition base enabler is required to run the NetWorker server on a cluster.
Enabling cluster and virtual clients
NetWorker client licensing differentiates between stand-alone computers and computers that participate in a cluster. The licenses are bound to physical nodes. Therefore, once a client connection license is allocated, any virtual clients that are running on that physical node can be backed up.
Backing up NetWorker Modules on cluster clients
The following two scenarios apply to NetWorker Modules in cluster environments.
Scenario One
To back up a NetWorker Module: l l
From the virtual client, an application module license is required for the virtual client.
From the physical host, an application module license is required for the physical client computer.
For example, physical nodes A and B are clustered and run a database. Virtual node C runs on this cluster and provides access to the database. If node C is the only way the database is backed up, one database application module license is required. If the physical node also backs up the database, a second database application module is required. Of course, client connection licenses are required for both of the physical nodes.
Scenario Two
For active-passive clusters which are made up of physical hosts, for example clusters in which one host is active and the other host is used for failover one Module license is required per virtual hostname. To obtain a failover authorization code, add a failover host
ID during the LAC activation process. Alternatively, contact the licensing team who can assist you with the transaction at [email protected]
For example, four Solaris physical hosts making up three active-passive DB2 clusters require three NMDB2 UNIX licenses.
DDS licensing
To enable DDS, one license is required for each drive that is to be shared. Once a drive is licensed as shared, any number of storage nodes can share it. DDS licensing is independent of library and storage node licensing.
NDMP licensing
NetWorker clients using the NDMP interface are licensed differently than standard client connections.
The following apply to NDMP licensing: l l l
One NDMP Client Connection license is required to protect each network-attached file system using NDMP, EMC Celerra
®
, Network Appliance, and so on.
NAS systems with multiple data movers, such as Celerra, or multiple IP hosts require only a single NDMP Client Connection License. To share the license among multiple data movers or hosts, specify the user-defined array name in the NDMP array name attribute of the Client resource.
When you perform an NDMP-DSA backup, a Storage Node license is required.
DDS licensing
47
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model l
Additionally, a file type device is supported for NDMP operations, which can also be used as a bootstrap device. A DiskBackup license is required for the file type device.
NetWorker cloud licensing
A NetWorker cloud backup option license enables you to add an unlimited number of cloud backup devices depending upon the NetWorker edition that was licensed.
NetWorker Data Domain device licensing
One Data Domain Storage System Enabler is required per datazone.
The amount of Data Domain formatted storage available in a NetWorker datazone is provided by a Data Domain Capacity Entitlement license. There is no restriction on the number of NetWorker Data Domain Device resources that can be created, other than the overall device limits for the datazone. However, there must be sufficient Data Domain storage capacity entitlement licenses for the amount of Data Domain storage used in the datazone.
The Data Domain server must be enabled with a DD Boost license. This is a Data Domain license, not a NetWorker license. If clone-controlled replication will be used, an additional Replication license is required.
To verify the license key, type the license show command on the Data Domain system. For versions 5.2.x and later, the output should read OPENSTORAGE.
If clone-controlled replication will be used, add the Replicator license key supplied by
Data Domain:
# license add license_key
NetWorker Module licensing
NetWorker Modules are licensed on the basis of one enabler per database type host.
For example, to back up the Oracle database on two hosts, two NetWorker Module for
Databases and Applications enablers are required, even if the two hosts are backed up by the same server. However, if multiple Oracle instances are running on a single
NetWorker client, only one NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications enabler is required.
NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications licensing information
The following section discusses the traditional licensing model requirements for
NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications (NMM). This information is not applicable when using the NetWorker capacity licensing model because the NMM software is included in the NetWorker capacity licensing model.
48
NMM licensing enabler code
The NMM software is also a licensed module. This means that when using the traditional
NetWorker licensing model, the NMM software requires an enabler code and the authorization to enable permanent licensing.
The NMM software is also included in the NetWorker capacity licensing model. When using the NMM software with this licensing model, it is not necessary to individually enable NMM clients.
Existing NMM enablers, that is enablers that are used for previous releases of NMM, are valid in an NMM environment. This means that new application support, such as
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
Microsoft Exchange 2012 and Microsoft SharePoint 2013, is enabled for existing users.
Users must upgrade and configure the NMM software. Once installed, the NMM software supports the backup and recovery of both, the new as well as the older Microsoft server applications.
Additional licensing requirements
Additional licensing is required when: l l l l l l
Using Data Domain Boost with NMM — When using Data Domain Boost with the NMM software, ensure that the licensing required for using this device type in the
NetWorker datazone is in place.
The following software should be enabled for the solution to work: n n
NetWorker server 7.6 SP1 or later software
Data Domain Device Type licensing. This enables the NetWorker software to define and address a Data Domain deduplication storage system that uses Data Domain
Boost.
n
Data Domain Boost must be enabled at the Data Domain system
Using NMM as dedicated storage node — NMM supports dedicated storage node
(DSN). The DSN license is required for any NMM client configured as a DSN.
Using client connections with NMM — A client connection license is required for every
NMM client in a NetWorker datazone. This is similar to the client connection licensing that is used with previous releases of the NMM software. The only difference is that the client software is installed separately from the NMM software on the application host.
Using NMM in a virtual environment — When using the NMM software in a virtual environment, one NMM license is required per application type on the physical host.
For example, in a VMWare environment, if the user has a single ESX server that hosts several SQL servers, one Exchange server, and three SharePoint servers, three NMM licenses will be required, for example: n n n
1 license to cover the SQL virtual machines
1 license to cover the Exchange virtual machine
1 license to cover the SharePoint virtual machines
This is regardless of the application environment that is being used.
Using NMM in a cluster environment — For cluster environments, one NMM license is required per active node. There are exceptions to this which depend on the cluster type, the application, and where the backup takes place.
Migrating from NME and NMSQL to NMM — For a NetWorker user who has licenses for legacy NetWorker modules, such as the NetWorker Module for Exchange (NME) or the
NetWorker Module for SQL (NMSQL) software, the existing license enablers will work to enable the NMM software, as long as the NetWorker server that is in use is
NetWorker 7.6 SP1 or later.
Note
Replacing the NME and NMSQL licenses with the NMM license code is not required.
NMM licensing examples
The following table provides some examples of the NMM licensing rules. It focuses on the traditional licensing model for a standalone server setup and a cluster setup for both active-passive and active-active clusters.

1 license per application per physical host
NetWorker storage node licensing
The following apply to storage node licensing.
l l l
Each storage node requires a storage node license, in addition to its client connection license.
Although the NetWorker server is also considered a storage node, it does not require a separate storage node license.
A storage node which allows backup only of local data is licensed separately as a dedicated storage node.
Devices such as files or jukeboxes require device enablers, regardless of whether they are on the server, storage node, or dedicated storage node.
NOTICE
If the NetWorker storage node software is disabled (if the NetWorker server is disabled or the storage node enabler is expired), you will not be able to recover backed-up data by using the storage node. To recover that data, the remote volume must be moved to a local drive connected to the server, and the recovery performed from there.
Virtual environments simplified licensing
NetWorker includes a simplified licensing model for virtualized environments. The
NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Guide provides a detailed list of supported server virtualization environments.
Two attributes have been added to the General tab of the Client resource to identify the client as a virtual client: l l
Virtual client — Set the attribute to Yes by selecting the Virtual Client attribute checkbox if the client is a virtual client.
Physical host — If the client is a virtual client, set the attribute to the hostname of the primary/initial physical machine that is hosting the virtual client.
Virtual Edition Client Connection license
The Virtual Edition Client Connection works with all server virtualization environments supported by the NetWorker software.
The physical host specified in the Client resource's Physical host attribute will consume one Virtual Edition Client Connection license, regardless of how many virtual clients are running on that host. If a virtual machine is licensed on one physical host and then migrates to another physical host, the new physical host requires its own Virtual Client
NetWorker storage node licensing
51
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
Connection license. The physical hostname does not need to be fully qualified, and must be less than 64 bytes. All clients sharing the same physical host must use an identical name. Do not mix name formats such as short, FQDN, or IP address.
To free a Virtual Client Connection license that has been assigned to a physical host, all references to the physical host must be removed, by doing one of the following: l l
Changing the virtual client or physical hostname attribute in the Client resources for all virtual clients that reference the physical host.
Deleting all Client resources for virtual clients that reference the physical host.
NetWorker Modules in virtual environments
One license is required for each application type (Microsoft SQL, Exchange, and
SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP) used within all of the virtual machines on a single physical server. There are no changes to model codes for NetWorker Modules in a virtual environment, so use existing codes and license enablers.
When NetWorker Module software is running natively on one or more virtual machines, one module license per module type will be consumed per physical host, regardless of the number of virtual clients associated with that physical host. The physical host itself will also require a Virtual Edition Client Connection license. Every physical machine that might host virtual clients with modules must be licensed in this way.
Applying the Virtual Client license to an existing virtual machine after upgrading from a previous release
The Virtual Edition Client Connection license is not automatically applied to an existing virtual machine after upgrading NetWorker. As a result, the virtual machine uses one standard client license for the preexisting virtual client instead of using the virtual client license.
To take advantage of the Virtual Edition Client Connection licensing policies and free up the use of the standard client license, select the Virtual Client attribute checkbox for this
Client resource, and specify the physical host.
Licensing NetWorker support for VMware
The following section provides information on NetWorker licensing requirements for guest-based VM backups, VMware APIs for Data Protection (VADP), and the NetWorker
VMware Protection solution.
Physical ESX hosts in non-VADP configurations
The client license used for physical ESX hosts in non-VADP configurations is the Virtual
Edition Client license. This license enables backup from any resident guest VM that has the NetWorker client software installed.

For guest based backups (not using VADP) with the NetWorker client installed on each physical host running a virtualization technology (Virtual Machine), only one Virtual
Edition Client license is required per physical host. The Virtual Edition Client license backs up an unlimited number of VMs or guest host operating systems.
Guest based backups that use this license include: l l l
VMWare ESX servers
Solaris zones
LDOMs
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model l l l
LPARs nPARs
VPARs l l
Microsoft Hyper-V
Xen and others
The following licensing model is used: l l l l
One NetWorker Module license per application type, per physical host for VADP based backups.
One client connection license per physical host for non-VADP based backups.
When using VMotion, each ESX server that hosts the source Virtual Machine or destination Virtual Machine will require the virtual edition client license and the appropriate application module license.
For ESX Servers using VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware HA, a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client is required for each ESX Server in the ESX Cluster
Farm. The appropriate number of module licenses depending upon the applications running in the farm.
For example, an environment has 60 VMs on 5 ESX Servers. Of the 60 VMs, 6 host SQL
Server, 1 hosts Exchange and 1 hosts SharePoint. DRS and VMotion are used and the entire farm needs to be protected. The following licenses are needed: l l
Qty 5 of NetWorker Virtual Edition Clients (1 for each ESX Server in the farm)
Qty 7 of NMM licenses l n n n
For SQL, it would be Min (6, 5) = 5
For SharePoint, it would be Min (1, 5) = 1
For Exchange, it would be Min (1, 5) = 1
For application backups, a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client and the appropriate
NetWorker Application module is required for each physical server. One license is required for each application type (SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP) used within all of the VMs on a single physical server. There are no changes to model codes for NetWorker Modules, so use the existing codes and license enablers.
For application protection, one NetWorker Module license is required per application type, per physical host for all virtualization technologies, including VMware ESX
Server, IBM LPAR, and Solaris Domains.
For example, an ESX server hosting three (3) Exchange servers requires only a single
NMM license. An ESX server hosting three (3) Exchange servers and a SharePoint server would require two NMM licenses; one license for the three Exchange servers and one license for the SharePoint server.
NetWorker VMware Protection licensing
For the NetWorker VMware Protection solution, using the EMC Backup and Recovery appliance with the traditional license requires a disk backup enabler, since this solution uses a single AFTD for NetWorker registration with the EMC Backup and Recovery appliance.
The NetWorker Licensing Guide provides more information on the disk backup enabler.
Virtual environments simplified licensing

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model
VADP licensing
For VADP backups of a VMware environment, one Virtual Edition Client license is required per VADP proxy host, regardless of the number of VMs and ESX servers configured to perform backups by using the proxy backup host.
Using existing licenses to support VADP after upgrading
When upgrading to NetWorker 8.1 and later from a release previous to NetWorker 7.6
SP2, note that the VADP proxy is used instead of VCB. The existing license used by the
VCB proxy will automatically be migrated to support the VADP proxy.
Virtual Tape Library licensing
A Virtual Tape Library Frame license must be purchased for each physical hardware frame that supports VTLs. If the Virtual Jukebox attribute is set to Yes during configuration, but a
Virtual Tape Library license does not exist, the configuration will succeed but subsequent library operations will fail.
EMC NetWorker 45-Day Evaluation Enabler Codes
This tables lists the 45-day temporary evaluation enabler codes for NetWorker products.
These codes can be used to extend the evaluation period on NetWorker server products.
If your NetWorker software is purchased and licensed, you can use these codes to evaluate the rest of the EMC family of products. If more than one enabler code is listed for a part number, any of the codes can be used.
Consider: l l l l
After entering the enabler code, the feature can be evaluated for 45 days.
These enabler codes are temporary and cannot be permanently authorized. To permanently authorize NetWorker products, you must purchase new enabler codes, which can then be authorized.
Each evaluation enabler code can be entered on only one computer on the network. If a code is entered on more than one computer on the same network, a copy violation error occurs and the NetWorker server software is disabled.
Case is important when entering enabler codes.

Knowledgebase Articles
The EMC Online Support site provides access to knowledgebase articles to troubleshoot common licensing issues with NetWorker 9.0 and earlier releases.
You can access licensing-related knowledgebase articles directly at https:// support.emc.com/kb/463810 .
How to obtain NetWorker license information
To obtain license information from a NetWorker server, use the nsrlic command or check the License Conformance Summary in NMC.
The following sources provide more information: l l l nsrlic man page on UNIX nsrlic man page information in the
EMC NetWorker Command Reference Guide
EMC NetWorker Administration Guide
How to query a server
Use the following procedure to query a NetWorker server.
To query a specific server, type the -s server option at the command line: l
On Linux and UNIX: /usr/sbin/nsrlic -s bacoor l
On Windows: networker_install_dir\bin\nsrlic -s bacoor where bacoor is the server name that is being queried.
A report is produced with various quantities and servers indicated. This report includes all client licenses including those for modules and features such as NDMP. However, it does not list device licensing details.
Querying a server for all information
To query a specific server for all information, type the -v server option at the command line:
/usr/sbin/nsrlic -v bacoor
where -v is for a verbose query for bacoor.
This query may be helpful in troubleshooting license issues. A verbose report is produced with various quantities indicated.
License Conformance Summary
In the course of using NetWorker software to protect enterprise data, users add clients, modules, and devices as needed. It can be helpful to see a summary report of the current license information for any given NetWorker server.
A summary report enables users to determine several things. For example: l l
Which or how many products or features have been enabled
Which or how many licenses have been purchased and authorized
78
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
Troubleshooting and Best Practices l l l
Which or how many of those licenses have been used and, conversely, how many are still available to use
How many additional licenses might be needed
Whether the number of licenses conforms to the number of licenses in use
From the Console, a License Conformance Summary report that shows relevant information about the NetWorker related product licenses purchased or under evaluation can be run.
In NetWorker 9.0, capacity entitlement is manually assigned. The License Conformance report will only show the capacity entitlements that the administrator has assigned to the individual NetWorker server.
The information is presented in a tabular form that displays installed products, licenses that are in conformance, and which additional licenses, if any, must be obtained in order to close conformance gaps.
In addition to product and license information, the summary displays certain details about the environment and the software version that is run by the NetWorker server.
Accessing the License Conformance Summary
Follow this procedure to display the License Conformance Summary.
Procedure
1. In the main Console window, click the Enterprise button on the taskbar.
2. Highlight a host in the navigation tree, and then in the right pane, right-click
NetWorker, and select Launch Application. The NetWorker Administration window appears.
3. Click the Configuration button on the taskbar.
4. Select Configuration
>
License Conformance Summary on the toolbar. The License
Conformance Summary appears.
5. When finished, click OK or Cancel to exit the summary.
6. The License Conformance Summary can also be displayed by right-clicking
Registrations in the server’s navigation tree, and selecting License Conformance
Summary.
License Conformance Summary details
The License Conformance Summary provides the following information: l
Server and environment information: n n n n n
NetWorker Server: Name of the NetWorker server.
Version: NetWorker software release and build number.
Full Conformance: Possible values are Yes, No, or, if in evaluation mode, Eval.
Base License: Possible values include:
– The NetWorker edition that is installed
– Eval indicates evaluation mode.

Report Date: Date and time when the summary was created.
License related information is displayed in the following columns: n n n n n
License: Type of license. For example, Storage Node, Client, module name.
Number Used: How many licenses of this type have been used.
Number of Licenses: How many licenses of this type are installed and not expired on the server. While the license is in evaluation mode, the number displayed is the maximum number possible for the license type.
% Conformance: Degree to which the number of licenses purchased is less than or equal to the number used. For DiskBackup Option and Virtual Tape Library, this might be blank, because more than one device can be created for each license of these license types.
Notes: Additional information, specific to the license type, provided by the system. For example, the capacity of a DiskBackup license.
l l l n
A checksum (five groups of generated alphanumeric characters) is listed at the bottom of the summary if the summary contents are valid. Users may ignore this line.
For the DiskBackup Option (DBO) and the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) frames license types, the Number Used is the number of DBO devices or VTL jukeboxes that the user has created. The Number of Licenses is the number of DBO licenses or VTL frame licenses that are installed. DBO and VTL are the only license types for which the
Number Used can exceed the Number of Licenses. This is because more than one device can be created for each license of this type.
The License Conformance Summary is not available for use with the NetWorker
License Manager software.
The License Conformance Summary supports the standard Console table functions, such as Print and Export.

A time-stamped snapshot License Conformance Summary is sent to the /nsr/logs directory at the start of each quarter.
The NetWorker server updates license information only once daily, at noon. Changes made after noon will be reflected in the next day’s update.
License Conformance is a new attribute for the server (nsr) resource.

About the legacy NetWorker License Manager
For the legacy traditional model of licensing, the NetWorker License Manager software provides centralized license management, which enables you to maintain all of an enterprise’s NetWorker traditional licenses from a single computer.
With the NetWorker License Manager, you can move NetWorker software from one computer to another, or change the IP address on an existing NetWorker server without having to re-authorize the software. The NetWorker License Manager can be installed as an option during the NetWorker software installation.
The latest NetWorker License Manager Installation and Administration Guide provides more information on how to install and use the NetWorker License Manager.
Using an enabler code
Use the following procedure to add an enabler code by using the License Manager software.
Procedure
1. From the Console window, click Setup.
2. Right-click Licensing, then select New. The Create dialog box appears.
3. In the Enabler Code attribute, type the enabler code and leave the other attributes blank.
4. Click OK.
Using an authorization code
Follow this procedure to type an authorization code by using the NetWorker License
Manager software.
Procedure
1. From the Console window, click Setup and then click Licensing.
2. Right-click the license to be authorized, then select Properties. The Properties dialog box appears.
3. In the Auth Code attribute, enter the authorization code for the product (the authorization code assigned to the specified permanent enabler or update enabler code).
4. Click OK. The license is now permanently enabled.
Backing up the NetWorker License Manager
This section provides instructions to back up the NetWorker License Manager if at some point you want to restore an earlier version of NetWorker that uses the NetWorker License
Manager. Perform these steps before upgrading to NetWorker 9.0.
On the NetWorker License Manager server platform, two files that are related to the
License Manager appear in the /nsr/lic directory: l l
/nsr/lic/res/lictype.res
/nsr/lic/res/lgtolm.res
84
EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide
NetWorker License Manager (legacy)
The NetWorker License Manager database is a single file, /nsr/lic/res/ lgtolm.res, and contains all the information for the install base licensing. Note that in most environments this file is typically stored on the platform where you installed the
NetWorker License Manager and not the platform where the NetWorker server is installed.
To retain the lgtolm.res file, back up the NetWorker server and the /nsr/lic directory on the NetWorker License Manager platform before you upgrade to NetWorker
9.0. You can back up the NetWorker License Manager by using a standard NetWorker save command (for example, savegrp) where the NetWorker License Manager platform is created as a client and /nsr/lic is the save set.
Alternatively, you can use the following steps to create a client for the NetWorker License
Manager platform and a group for the platform/save set and then perform the NetWorker
License Manager backup. In this example, a NetWorker License Manager package is installed on the host
yoyodyne.com
:
1. Create a client for the NetWorker License Manager. For example,
yoyodyne.com
.
2. Create a group for the client. For example,
yoyodyne_nlm
.
3. Edit the client yoyodyne.com properties to only use the yoyodyne_nlm group and change the save set for the client to /nsr/lic.
4. Start a save for the client.
5. Back up the /nsr directory and its contents on the existing installation.
