You don't need new licenses to work with NetBackup 6 if you don't want the
new features of NetBackup. I'm using a 3.4 key and it is working perfectly.

But if you want to enable some of the new features you have to get a new
license. (this wasn't needed for any upgrade till now) 

That means that if you don't have support and you find the media you can go
to next version or any version. (But you will not have support)

 

As I know sun customers are not Veritas customers (They don't have a license
certificate) and Veritas doesn't upgrade or support them. The only support
they have is from sun.

If there is a sun customer in the mailing list, please enlighten us

A customer with NetBackup 5.x licenses purchased from Sun and a support
agreement also purchased by Sun has received the following reply from Sun
Licensing:

"If the customer is running 5.1 it should be no problem. 5.x licenses will
enable the 6.0 Netbackup media. In other words,the customer does not need
6.0 keys. It has to work fine."

Is this correct? The customers with support agreements from Symantec are
getting new license keys for 6.0, so they may be necessary.

Thanks!
