Hi Tom,

  "surely there must be a way to do it via the command line", you would think 
so but sorry there isn't :( this goes for other things 
like server license keys too, the key has no actual number of licenses 
assigned to it in terms of the functionality it unlocks so the only place 
that will tell you is the paper license documentation that Veritas provide 
with the key (or you will have to get the information from your Veritas 
account rep),

                        thanks Andy.

Hi,


We have a Netbackup server running on solaris backing up several windows 
and unix machines.
Our customer wants to know how many clients can backup to the server, but 
from the information I get from the 'bpminlicense -list_keys -verbose' 
output, it's very hard to determine this.

for example, one of the license keys lists this:

file version    = 0x07050000
  time added      = 0x40555141 Thu Apr  8 15:18:57 2004
  hostname        = sunbkup
  product ID      = 6 NetBackup DataCenter
  serial number   = 444570
  key version     = 0x00000001
  count           = 0
  server platform = 0 Any platform
  client platform = 2 Any Windows platform
  server tier     = 5 NetBackup Server
  client tier     = 0 No tier
  license type    = 1 Permanent
  Site ID         = 600 Unknown site: 600
  Feature ID      = 63 5.0 key bit +
  Feature ID      = 22 Additional clients +


What does this tell me with respect to how many client licenses I have ? I 

read somewhere that I need to check the license documents to see this, but 

surely there must be a way to do it via the command line ?


This is the contents of the version file:
NetBackup-Solaris2.6 4.5MP6

regards,
Tom.
