Dell NetWorker 19.11 Licensing Guide
Base enabler
Each installation of NetWorker server software must be licensed with a server enabler, called a base enabler. This enabler activates the software and validates the use of a particular bundle of features, such as a specified number of clients and devices. All license keys are entered 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 broad scope of additional features.
NOTE:You cannot delete the base enabler. You can use the
nsrcap command-line utility to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler. However, after you upgrade or downgrade a base enabler, you cannot restore to the original lower function base enabler. You must obtain a new base enabler from Dell Licensing. For example, if you upgrade from Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress to Work Edition, the original Work Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new Work Edition base enabler from Dell Licensing.
The following tips apply to the base enabler:
- As soon as the base enabler is entered, the evaluation mode ends. A function that was available during a 90-day evaluation mode must be specifically enabled with either an evaluation or permanent enabler.
- When entering a group of enablers, always type the base enabler last to avoid disabling features that require a license that is separate from the base enabler.
