Since at least NetWorker 7.5, we've been taking advantage of "virtual clients 
are free." I would set "virtual client: Yes" and "physical host: <host>." I 
believe that nsrlic -v used to say "Loaned to Virtual: <number of physical 
hosts>," and virtual clients never counted against the standard client license 
count.

This weekend, I upgraded to the 7.6.2.5 cumulative hotfix (Linux x86 or 
RHEL5.7), rebooted, and all of my virtual clients got unlicensed.

39078:save: RAP error: Unable to grant Virtual Client Physical Host license to 
client ****: Too many Virtual Client Physical Hosts. Maximum is 0

"Loaned to Virtual" is now zero.

I've never understood how virtual clients are licensed. Two support cases and 
long conversations with our reseller only resulted in "Well, I don't understand 
it either, but if it's working, you must not need to buy anything."

Rolling all the binaries back to 7.6.2.2 did not help. I'm still unable to run 
backups of any virtual client.

If anyone can, help??? Otherwise, take this as a cautionary tale.

I'd check recent tech notes, but as is usually the case, Powerlink is returning

"We're sorry, Powerlink is currently unavailable, the support group has been 
alerted"
