details:
Networker server is Windows server 2003 64 bit running version 7.4.4.  We have 
a 6 server VMware cluster and are interested in using the virtual edition 
client to free up some client licenses.  We use VMWare Consolidated backup to 
backup our virtual servers from a storage node.

I have installed one temporary license of the Virtual Edition Client on our 
Networker server.  When I do a nsrlic from the command line, I see that the 
virtual server clients no longer show up as "clients" and therefore, the 
licenses they were using are now "free".

My question is to anyone who is using this client...we were told that we needed 
one Virtual Client License PER ESX SERVER.  From what I am seeing, this one 
Virtual Edition license is allowing all of our clients with properties defined 
to use VCB on the proxy backup.

Is there anyone using this Virtual Edition Client with 7.4.4 using VCB with a 
VMware cluster that explain why I you  need one Virtual Client License PER ESX 
SERVER?  I guess I am missing something.
