I haven't seen an updated version of this lately........
MULTIPLE DOMAIN OR VIRTUAL MACHINE SYSTEMS
NetBackup components (servers, clients, and database agents) for UNIX,
Windows, NetWare, and Linux are each licensed
once per physical machine. If a physical machine runs multiple Operating
Systems and Databases, then the physical machine
requires one NetBackup component for each Operating System and Database
type. Please note that this policy supersedes
previous licensing policies that were communicated before the date of
this document.
Exception: NetBackup Clients installed on IBM zSeries (OS/390) should be
licensed once per virtual machine. This is an
exception to the standard NetBackup policy of licensing clients once per
physical machine.
