Encryption now is coming with the client lic and is free. I think that your encryption lics will turn to standard client lics.


Justin was right - it depends on your license and the original poster needs to be aware of what he currently has licensed and what he's entitled to.

1.  If you don't have NetBackup on an active maintenance contract, you're probably not entitled to the latest release, whether it's downloadable or not.  If you have it on a maintenance contract, contact your maintenance supplier for details on getting the media or download instructions.

2.  NetBackup 6.5 includes a license for client-based encryption.  You need a valid 6.5 master key license to enable this - you can not use a pre-6.5 license for your master license and turn on client-based encryption.

3.  There are 2 different forms of NetBackup encryption - client-based and media-server based.  Only the client-based encryption is included at no additional charge.

4.  You should always upgrade *all* of your keys when you upgrade from one release to another.  This includes the master server, media servers, all of the clients, and all of the related options.  You should not trust a pre-6.5 license key.  It may work, but you will be restricted in what you can do with it.
