If you want to backup all the physical hosts and the VMs on the hosts, then you
would need 5 Virtual Edition licenses.
The reason why your backups work is because, even though the VMs moved from one
physical host to another, NetWorker does not change the physical host name
property on NMC (which is what it uses to figure out license consumption).

Subject: [Networker] Virtual Edition Client Connection/1 Licensing Question

Was wondering if somebody would know the answer to this. I'm in the
process of testing some of these Virtial Edition Client Connections and
was wondering how many of them I will need to buy. I'm not the VM person
but this is the set-up we have. We have 5 physical servers inside 1
clusterd virtual enviroment. My first guess would be I would need 5
Virtual license. One for each physical host in the cluster. During my
testing I've only added one virtual license to the physical host in the
cluster and the virtual clients associated to this host work Ok. A few
weeks have gone by and these virtual clients have been rebooted and now
they are on a different physical server in the cluster and the back-ups
still work OK. Would this be considered something broken or do I only need
1 Virtual license with-in a clusted VM enviroment.
