[Veritas-bu] license numbers

Hi Greg
You can export or save the license information to a plain text file, this
is done via the license key manager in the gui.
However, this is of almost no use since NetBackup licensing is crazy.
A client license key may be for one or more clients but this is not
recorded in netbackup anywhere. All you get is "Feature: Additional clients
(Active)" but you have no way of telling how many clients are on a
particular key. You must refer back to the pdf or paper version of the
license.
I have a single server key which has "quantity = 2". So I must put the same
key on two different netbackup servers. I have a single key for 8 clients
and some of those clients are on one netbackup server, some on another, so
I must put the same client license key on both servers again.
Worse - give veritas the key and they wont be able to tell you what they
are for. You have to give the the purchase order number - more info from
paper/pdf copy.
