This is a problem we all run into from time to time. 

You can usually get a temp enabler from your Networker sales rep.  

If not, they have some temp enablers in the old Media Kits that they
used to send out - not sure if you have any of those old media kits. 

And you will have a problem, if a year from now, you need to restore a
backup from one of those clusters. You will need enablers when you go to
restore them.   At least it's that way with Exchange and SQL - I assume
it's the same with Cluster licenses.

Subject: [Networker] Temporary increase cluster licenses ?

Hello,

We're in the process of migrating our "old" Windows 2000 cluster to a
"new" Windows 2008 cluster in a new AD domain.

While we're installing, configuring and populating this new AD domain we
need to do backups using Legato but, at the same time, we need to backup
the "old" cluster too.

As we only have 2 cluster licenses and these are in use (we need to
backup these servers until the last user is migrated), we get the
following error messages:

Server info: Unable to grant NT CLUSTER CLIENT license to client
newclusternode1: Too many clients for license type D0 Windows NT Server
on Intel. Maximum is 2.

Is it possible to use temporary cluster licenses? How? The backups done
with this temporary license are recoverable when we remove the old
servers and use our old license?

Thank you very much!
