License Conformance Summary details

The License Conformance Summary provides the following information:

• Server and environment information:
  • 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.
    • Yes or No indicates whether an authorization code has been applied to the license.
    • Disabled indications that the server has been disabled.
  • Operating System: Operating system installed on the NetWorker server.
  • Report Date: Date and time when the summary was created.
• License-related information is displayed in the following columns:
  • 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.
  • 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 supports the standard Console table functions, such as Print and Export.
• A timestamped 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.
• License Conformance Checksum is a new attribute that is used by the system to maintain the integrity of the summary.
