The license needs to cover what Networker sees. If you have 200 slots
but can configure the library to only show 128, then the 128-slot
license would work. When you need to license more slots, you'll need to
exchange you existing license for a new one (and they will give you a
credit for what you are exchanging).

Subject: [Networker] Autochanger module license question?
Hi,
Does an Autochanger Module license have to cover all the slots that a
given tape library has or does it only
have to cover what you want to use?
For example, if I buy a stackable library system, and maybe I have a
total of 200 slots between all the
units, could I purchase a 128 slot license if I was willing to live with
only being able to use slots 1-128 or
will NetWorker see that the library really has 200 slots and then
complain that the license is insufficient
to cover it?
We are looking at stackable libraries. Some of these would come with all
the slots and others would require
the purchase of a license key from the hardware vendor in order to
activate all of them. Either way, I want to be
covered under Legato, but these autochanger module licenses are
expensive, and I suspect Legato will not let
you purchase an add-on module to increase the count.
George
