Can you give some details about how licensing changes for VTLs in 7.4?

Thanks.

Essentially you can get disk to disk backup speeds, and can do dynamic drive
sharing. Of course, you do loose the ability to read and write at the same
time, that you get from an advanced file type device.

With the latest versions of NW you can use the processors inside the EDL
(new name for the CDL) as a storage node to do the cloning/migration to tape
for you.

7.4 has new licensing for VTL's - watch out for that.
