[Networker] Tracking NetWorker license codes
2006-02-06 18:34:33
We're at the early stages of charging other departments to do backups
of their servers to our central site NetWorker server. Right now, the
only charge is for the cost of a client connection and any optional
modules they may need. I am wondering if others are in this
situation. I assume so. How do you keep track of which department
owns which auth code? I am using 7.2.1 so I have set up an Excel
spread sheet with the details on it and I fill in the comment field
on each auth code I register for an outside department, but this is
going to get too confusing, esp. since NetWorker doesn't know who
owns which license.
At some point, we will also charge for tape resources, but that
hasn't happened yet. This idea is not mine; I think it is not cost-
effective to buy individual client connections each time we need to
add a new server onto our nightly backup schedule, but that's the way
management wants it here.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to manage this stuff so that you
don't accidentally use one department's license for another group's
server, please let me know.
Thanks,
Stan
