Manel,
I believe you need a temp lic for each physical system in the cluster, which
makes me think you may have installed only one temp lic.

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!
