About this guide

This guide describes the licensing options available in NetWorker 9.2 that you can use
to permanently license the NetWorker software. is downloadable from https://
support.emc.com. NetWorker 9.2 has extended the license-free trial period without
requiring a license to 90 days.
The information in this guide assumes that the NetWorker software is installed and
that all of the software and hardware requirements have been met on the computer
that accesses the NetWorker Management Console (NMC) interface, known as the
Console. These requirements are described in the NetWorker Installation Guide.

NetWorker License Manager

The NetWorker License Manager (legacy) on page 87 chapter provides information
about the NetWorker License Manager software that is used for traditional licensing,
including information that outlines how to enter and delete an enabler code, enter an
authorization code, and how to change a License Manager server. Only the traditional
model of licensing uses NetWorker License Manager.

Note

If you plan to use the EMC Licensing solution with capacity entitlement, do not install
the NetWorker License Manager software during the NetWorker installation.

Important information for new and upgraded installations of

NetWorker
NetWorker 9.2 allows new customers to use the EMC Licensing Solution with the
Capacity Entitlement, which means that capacity can be shared among NetWorker
Servers, or traditional, enabler-based licensing. If you are an existing customer
upgrading to NetWorker 9.2, you can also use the EMC Licensing Solution with
capacity entitlement, or after upgrading to the NetWorker 9.2 server, you can
continue to use the traditional enabler-based licensing from your previous NetWorker
version by applying a license file with the Update Entitlement.
Also, you can use traditional enabler-based licensing when you have unused enablers
or want to move enablers from an old NetWorker Server to a new NetWorker Server
that is running NetWorker 9.2.

Note

Dell EMC is working on a Conversion tool that simplifies the conversion from
traditional enabler-based licensing to the EMC Licensing Solution with Capacity
Entitlement. This guide will be updated with this information when the tool is available.
Customers who require conversion from traditional NetWorker 8.x capacity-based
enabler licensing to the NetWorker 9.0 and later EMC Licensing Solution with the
Capacity Entitlement must submit a conversion request to licensing. The request
should include your original sales order number and the LAC number, so EMC
Licensing can issue the correct capacity entitlement. The request must also include
the IP address and hostname of the License Server, if using a served license, or the IP
address and hostname of the NetWorker Server, if using an unserved license.

12 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 Introduction

New installation of NetWorker 9.2 with unused or new enablers from previous
NetWorker versions
If you have unused or new enablers from a NetWorker 8.1.x or 8.2.x release, you can
still use these enablers on a new NetWorker 9.2 server by applying them in the Server
Properties window in NMC and having them authorized by Dell EMC Licensing.
This procedure still requires installation of the EMC License Server (if using a served
license), and application of a license file with the Update Entitlement.
1. If not already installed, install the NetWorker 9.2 server and, if using a served
license, the EMC License Server.
2. Apply the unused or new enablers to the NetWorker 9.2 server through the Server
Properties window in NMC.
3. Contact Licensing@emc.com.
4. Request authorization of the unused or new enablers from Dell EMC Licensing,
and request an Update Entitlement license file.

Note

When making this request, include information such as Customer #, SO#, IP

Address of the License Server, IP address of the NetWorker server, and Host ID of
the NetWorker Server. To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker Server on Linux,
run nsrlic -p | grep "host id" . To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker
Server on Windows, run nsrlic -p | findstr "host id"

5. Apply the license file with the Update Entitlement provided by Dell EMC Licensing
to the License Server (if using a served license) and the NetWorker server, as
described in the section Requirements for new and upgraded installations.

Upgrading from traditional licensing without upgrading the NetWorker 8.x.x

server
If you have a NetWorker 8.x.x server with enablers from NetWorker 8.1.x or 8.2.x and
want to move the enablers to a new server with NetWorker 9.2 without upgrading the
existing NetWorker 8.x.x server, perform the following.
1. If not already installed, install the NetWorker 9.2 server and the EMC License
Server (if using a served license).
2. Contact Licensing@emc.com.
3. Request a Host Transfer Affidavit to move the enablers from the old NetWorker
Server to a new Installation of NetWorker 9.2 on new hardware, and request a
License file that includes an Update Entitlement.

Note

When making this request, include information such as Customer #, SO#, IP

address of the License Server, IP address of the NetWorker server, and Host ID of
the NetWorker Server. To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker Server on Linux,
run nsrlic -p | grep "host id" . To obtain the Host ID of the NetWorker
Server on Windows, run nsrlic -p | findstr "host id".

4. Apply the transferred enablers to the NetWorker 9.2 server through the Server
Properties window in NMC.

New installation of NetWorker 9.2 with unused or new enablers from previous NetWorker versions 13
Introduction

5. Apply the License file with the Update Entitlement provided by Dell EMC Licensing
to the EMC License Server (if using a served license) and the NetWorker Server,
as described in the section Requirements for new and upgraded installations.

Upgrading from traditional licensing on UNIX to a new installation on Linux or

Windows
If you are on UNIX and want to move to a new installation of the NetWorker 9.2 server
on Linux or Windows, perform the following.
1. Contact your account manager.
2. After your enablers are transferred from UNIX enablers to either Windows or
Linux:
a. Follow the steps that are outlined in the section "New installation of NetWorker
9.2 with unused enablers from previous NetWorker versions" to install the
NetWorker software on Linux or Windows with your UNIX enablers.
b. Have these enablers authorized by Dell EMC Licensing.

Note

If you are planning on performing a NetWorker Server migration from UNIX to Linux or
Windows where you are bringing over the media database information from the old
server to the new server, contact your account manager who will make arrangements
with Professional Services.

Determining license model options by version

For new installations of NetWorker 9.2, it is recommended to use the EMC Licensing
Solution with capacity entitlement, however you can also use traditional enabler-based
licensing. When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.2 from a previous release, you can
continue to use your previous licensing model (for example, traditional enabler-based
licensing), or you can use the EMC Licensing Solution with capacity entitlement.
Review the following tables to determine which NetWorker licensing model to use.
The tables compare licensing options between NetWorker versions and available
licensing models, as well as the tools that are used to manage licensing.

Traditional enabler-based licensing model (legacy)

The traditional enabler-based licensing model is available in both new installations of
NetWorker 9.2 and upgraded installations.
If you plan to use traditional enabler-based licensing in a new or upgraded installation
of NetWorker 9.2, you must perform the following steps:
1. If using a served license, install the License server. If using an unserved license,
skip to step two.
2. Obtain a license file from Dell EMC Licensing that contains an update entitlement
called NETWORKER_UPDATE.
3. If using a served license, set up the license file on the License Server. On the
License Server host, copy the license file to the /opt/emc/licenses file. If
using an unserved license, skip to step four.
4. On the NetWorker server, launch the NMC Administration window, right-click the
server, and then select Properties from the list. In the Licensing tab of the
Server Properties window, browse to and select the license file to populate the
CLP license text field.
Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker and
Requirements for new and upgraded installations provide further information on these
requirements.

Note

Once you enable the EMC Licensing Solution with a Capacity Entitlement, you can no
longer use the traditional enabler-based licensing model.

Capacity licensing model (legacy)

The capacity licensing model in NetWorker releases earlier than NetWorker 9.0 allows
you to use any set of NetWorker features provided you do not exceed the amount of
purchased storage capacity for the datazone. If you used this model with an earlier
NetWorker release before upgrading to NetWorker 9.2, you can continue to use the

16 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 Introduction

legacy capacity licensing model, or you can use the EMC Licensing Solution with the
capacity entitlement.
If you upgrade to the EMC Licensing Solution, you can apply an unused capacity that
you purchased to the capacity purchase for use of the EMC Licensing Solution. For
example, if you purchase a 2 TB capacity entitlement for the EMC Licensing Solution
and had 2 TB of legacy capacity entitlement enablers remaining, you have a total of 4
TB of source data you can protect.
If you plan to continue using the legacy capacity licensing model, you must perform
the following steps:
1. If using a served license, install the License Server. If using an unserved license,
skip to step two.
2. Obtain a license file from Dell EMC Licensing that contains an update entitlement
called NETWORKER_UPDATE.
3. if using a served license, set up the license file on the License Server. On the
License Server host, copy the license file to /opt/emc/licenses. If using an
unserved license, skip to step four.
4. On the NetWorker Server, launch the NMC Administration window, and then
right-click the server and select Properties from the drop down. In the Licensing
tab of the Server Properties window, browse to and select the license file to
populate the CLP license text field.
The sections Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker
and Requirements for new and upgraded installations provide further information on
these requirements.

About the EMC Licensing Solution

The Dell EMC Licensing Solution, available in NetWorker 9.0 and later, is a licensing
standard that stores all licensing information for the environment in one license file,
which is stored on both the NetWorker server and, if using a served license, the
License Server. All installations of NetWorker 9.0 and later use the Dell EMC Licensing
Solution available on the Online Support website.
Various components are required to set up the available on the Online Support
website. These components include the following items:
l License Server (if using a served license)
l A license file that contains either a Capacity Entitlement or an Update Entitlement.
l Management of the License Server through LMTOOLS (Windows) or lmgrd
(Linux).

Differences between served and unserved licenses

NetWorker 9.2.1 allows you to use a served or unserved license, which is specified in
the license file you obtain from Dell EMC Licensing. A served license requires
installation and configuration of the EMC License Server, also known as the CLP
License Server. An unserved license does not require you to install the License Server
or open any associated firewall ports to enable communication with the License
Server.
The following table demonstrates the differences between served and unserved
licenses.

EMC Licensing Solution

Upgrading to NetWorker 9.2

When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.2 from a NetWorker 8.2.x release, you have the
following two options:
l Use the EMC Licensing Solution with the Capacity Entitlement.
l Continue to use the traditional enabler-based licensing model from the previous
NetWorker version by using the the EMC Licensing Solution with the Update
Entitlement.
If you decide to use the EMC Licensing Solution with Capacity Entitlement after you
upgrade to NetWorker 9.2, you must take the following actions:
1. If using a served license, install the EMC License Server. Without a connection to
the EMC License Server, NetWorker 9.2 runs in evaluation mode for 90 days.
Install the License Server before the end of the evaluation period.
2. Obtain the license file, which contains a Capacity Entitlement that is called
NETWORKER_CAPACITY or an update entitlement called
NETWORKER_UPDATE.
3. If using a served license, set up the license file on the License Server host:
l On Linux, copy the file to the/opt/emc/licenses/ directory.
l On Windows, copy the file to the C:\Program Files\EMC License
Server\elms\licenses folder.
4. On the NetWorker server, launch the NMC Administration window, and then
right-click the server and select Properties from the list. In the Licensing tab of
the Server Properties window, browse to and select the license file to populate
the CLP license text field.

Note

When you choose the Capacity Entitlement option, contact a Dell EMC sales
representative to perform the conversion from the traditional enabler-based licensing
model to the EMC Licensing Solution with the Capacity Entitlement.

If you decide to continue using the traditional enabler-based licensing model, you must
take the following actions before upgrading to NetWorker 9.2:
1. If using a served license, install the EMC License Server. Without a connection to
the EMC License Server, NetWorker 9.2 runs in evaluation mode for 90 days.
Install the License Server before the end of the evaluation period.
2. Obtain the license file, which should contain only an Update Entitlement called
NETWORKER_UPDATE.

Note

When you apply an update entitlement, a notification that indicates that

NETWORKER_CAPACITY entitlement is not present in the license
file might display. If you are not using the NETWORKER_CAPACITY
entitlement, you can ignore this message.
3. If using a served license, set up the license file on the License Server host:
l On Linux, copy the file to the /opt/emc/licenses/ directory.
l On Windows, copy the file to the C:\Program Files\EMC License
Server\elms\licenses folder.
4. On the NetWorker server, launch the NMC Administration window, and then
right-click the server and then select Properties from the list. In the Licensing

22 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 EMC Licensing Solution

tab of the Server Properties window, browse to and select the license file to
populate the CLP license text field.

EMC License Server (served licenses only)

After you install the NetWorker software, if using a served license install the Windows
or Linux 64-bit EMC License Server package. The EMC License Server manages the
licenses and capacity allocation.
The following table lists the 64-bit platforms that support installation of the EMC
License Server.

Table 6 Supported License Server platforms

Platform Versions
Windows Windows 2008, Windows 2012

Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x, 6.x, 7.x; SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.x,
12.x

After you install the EMC License Server, you must obtain the license file from Dell
EMC Licensing. Only one license file is required per EMC License Server for all
datazones. This file contains the host and port information for the EMC License
Server. The EMC License Server should use a default or specific TCP/IP port number.
For NetWorker, the default port is 27000. If you use a non-default port, this port
number must be specified in the license file. You can set the EMC License Server to
listen to an available TCP/IP port, typically in the 27000 to 27009 range. It is
recommended that, at a minimum, you keep ports 27000 and 27001 open.
You can start the EMC License Server with the LMTOOLS application on Windows or
the lmgrd command-line utility on Linux.

Note

You can run the EMC License Server on the same server as the NetWorker
Management Console. However, it is not recommend that you run the NetWorker
Server and the EMC License Server on the same host. If you run both servers on the
same host, ensure that you start the NetWorker Server before you start the lmgrd
process.

License file
The license file that you receive from Dell EMC Licensing indicates the NetWorker
features and capacity you purchased, or the options that will be made available fo
evaluating NetWorker. The license file additionally indicates whether you are using a
served or unserved license. The license file is an encrypted ASCII text file, which
prevents tampering with the content or making changes directly in the file.
You can obtain the license file from Dell EMC Licensing after you download and install
NetWorker 9.2 and, if required, the EMC License Server software. For served
licenses, the license file must reside on a platform that runs the EMC License Server
and is accessible to NetWorker. For unserved licenses, only NetWorker Server access
is required.
When you receive the license file, perform the following actions:
l For served licenses, store a copy of the file in the EMC License Server folder:
n On Linux, copy the file to the opt/emc/licenses/ directory.

EMC License Server (served licenses only) 23

EMC Licensing Solution

n On Windows, copy the file to the C:\Program Files\EMC License

Server\elms\licenses folder.
l For served and unserved licences, launch the NMC NetWorker Administration
window on the NetWorker Server, right-click the server, and then select
Properties from the list. In the Licensing tab of the Server Properties window,
browse to and select the license file to populate the CLP license text field.
The license file can contain one or both of the following types of entitlements:
l An update entitlement, if you are updating from a previous NetWorker release, and
l A single capacity entitlement, which you can share across multiple datazones.
All datazones can point to a single EMC License Server to request capacity. Only one
license file is required per EMC License Server for all datazones.

Management of the EMC License Server (served licenses only)

After you install the EMC License Server, the system places a management
application on an accessible NetWorker server. Use the appropriate EMC License
Server management application to complete the setup and configuration of the Dell
EMC Licensing Solution.
On Windows, use the LMTOOLS application. On Linux, use the lmgrd command-line
utility.
The management application should run constantly to serve licenses to NetWorker.
Therefore, the application requires a running EMCLM vendor daemon, which delivers
license features to NetWorker and tracks counted features. The application
automatically manages EMCLM by starting, stopping, and restarting the daemon as
required. It also writes to the EMC License Server's lmgrd.log troubleshooting file
to report errors and license-feature activity. The lmgrd, EMCLM, license, and
troubleshooting log file are located in the same directory.

Note

Use the License Server Installation and Administration Guide for complete EMC License
Server management instructions.

Quick Start: Activate the Dell EMC Licensing Solution

The following section provides an overview of the steps that are required to activate
the Dell EMC Licensing Solution in a new installation of NetWorker. For more details,
see subsequent sections of the NetWorker Licensing Guide and the License Server
Installation and Administration Guide.
Before you begin
Obtain the license file from Dell EMC Licensing. For a new installation of NetWorker,
this file contains a Capacity Entitlement. You can obtain the file after you provide Dell
EMC Licensing with the License Server host/IP information and the required capacity.
If using a served license and you cannot use the default port of 27000 for
communication between NetWorker and the License Server, you must also provide the
port number. Dell EMC Licensing requires this information to create the license file.
Procedure
1. If using a served license, download the License Server package for the
appropriate platform from the same location that you downloaded the
NetWorker software from. If using an unserved license, skip to step five.

not supported.

Install the License Server (Windows 64-bit platform)

After you complete the NetWorker 9.2 installation, install the License Server from the
64-bit Windows package. The License Server package name for Windows is
EMC_LicenseServer_3.4.0_x64 installer.msi.
Before you begin
During the NetWorker installation, do not select the option to install the NetWorker
License Manager software. To use the EMC Licensing Solution, the NetWorker
License Manager is not required.
If using a served license, the License Server is required for new and upgraded
installations of NetWorker 9.2, even if you plan on using traditional enabler-based
licensing.
Procedure
1. Download the Windows 64-bit installation package from the same location that
you downloaded the NetWorker software from.
2. To start the EMC License Server Setup wizard, open the
EMC_LicenseServer_3.4.0_x64 installer.msi file.

your desktop. LMTOOLS allows you to manage the License Server.
To complete the setup and configuration, perform the steps in the sections Set up the
license file and LMTOOLS configuration on Windows.

Install the License Server (Linux 64-bit platform)

After you complete the NetWorker 9.2 installation, install the License Server from the
64-bit Linux package. The License Server package name on Linux for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux version 5 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 is
emclicenseserver-3.4.1-2.x86_64_lsb.rpm . The package name for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux version 6 and 7 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server version 12 is
emclicenseserver-3.5.0-1.x86_64_lsb.rpm. If using a served license, the
License Server is required for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker 9.2, even
if you plan on using the traditional enabler-based licensing model.
Before you begin
On the License Server, create a folder called /opt/emc/licenses, and copy the
license file that you obtain from EMC Licensing to this folder.

Note

During the NetWorker 9.2 installation, do not install the NetWorker License Manage
package, lgtolicm. The NetWorker License Manager is not required to use the EMC
Licensing Solution.

Install the License Server (Linux 64-bit platform) 27

EMC Licensing Solution

Procedure
1. Download the Linux 64-bit installation package from the same location that you
downloaded the NetWorker software from.
2. Log in to Linux as root or as a user with sudo privileges.
3. At the command prompt, type the following command to install the package,
using the appropriate package version. For example:
/opt/emc # rpm -v -i /tmp/
emclicenseserver-3.5.0-1.x86_64_lsb.rpm

4. To confirm that the installation was successful perform the following steps:
a. Type ls /opt/emc/emclicenseserver/
b. In the directory listing output, verify that the following files were extracted:
l EMCLM
l lmgrd
l lmutil
l Readme.txt

Note

After you install the License Server software on a Linux platform, the
following error might appear: "-bash: ./lmgrd: No such file or
directory". This error occurs because a library file is missing, typically the
ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 library file. If the library file does not exist on your
system or, the incorrect version is installed, you must install the correct
package. To verify which package the library file belongs to, you can run an
rpm query if rpm packages are on your system. For example, type rpm -
qf /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 lsb-4.0-22.3.1.x86_64. After
you install the package that contains the required library file, the License
Server should start.

Set up the license file

The license file that you obtain from Dell EMC Licensing contains information about
the license entitlement type (a Capacity or Update Entitlement), whether the license
is served or unserved, and, if applicable, the License Server configuration. Dell EMC
Licensing populates the file with this information after you provide the details and
requirements for your environment. It is recommended that you do not edit the license
file. Doing so can corrupt the file, which makes it unusable by the License Server and
the NetWorker Server.
Before you begin
It is recommended that you obtain the license file before you install the License
Server. If using a served license and you install the License Server before obtaining
the license file, record the server hostname/IP and port number because you must
provide this information to Dell EMC Licensing to populate the file with these details.
If the default port 27000 is unavailable, select an open port that can be used for
communication between the License Server and the NetWorker software. It is
recommended that, at a minimum, you keep ports 27000 and 27001 open.

28 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 EMC Licensing Solution

Procedure
1. If you have not already obtained the license file from Dell EMC Licensing,
contact Dell EMC Licensing to obtain the file.
A license file with a Capacity Entitlement looks similar to the following example
for a served license.

2. If using a served license, create a directory in the location where you installed
the License Server.
For example, on the License Server, create the following directories:
l On Windows: C:\Program Files\EMC License Server\elms
\licenses
l On Linux: /opt/emc/licenses

If using an unserved license, skip to step four.

Note

On Linux, you might be required to complete this step before you install the
License Server package.

3. Copy the license file to the License Server directory that you previously
created. Do not rename the license file.

Note

If you use FTP on Linux, ensure that the file permissions do not change.

4. On the NetWorker Server, launch the NMC NetWorker Administration

window.

l Create the/opt/emc/licenses for the license file and the /opt/emc/
emclicenseserver/logs directory for the log files.
l Add the license file that you received from EMC Licensing to the /opt/emc/
licenses directory.
Procedure
1. To start the License Server, at the command prompt, type lmgrd.
# ./lmgrd -l /opt/emc/emclicenseserver/logs/lmgrd.log -
c /opt/emc/licenses
2. To manage the License Server, type the lmgrd command with the following
arguments:

Manage the License Server (Linux) 33

EMC Licensing Solution

lmgrd [-c license_file_list] [-l [+]debug_log_path] [-2 -p] [-

local] [-x lmdown] [-x lmremove] [-z] [-v] [-help]

The following table provides information about the arguments that you can use
with the lmgrd command. The section Lmutil application provides more
information on available arguments.
Table 7 lmgrd arguments

Argument Description
-c license_file_list Directs use of the specified license files.

-l [+]debug_log_path Writes debugging information to file debug_log_path. This

option uses the letter l, not the numeral 1. Prefixing
debug_log_path with the + character appends logging
entries. Use the -l option before other options to log all
debugging information to debug_log_path.

-2 -p Restricts use of the lmdown, lmreread, lmremove,

lmswitch, lmswitchr, and lmnewlog utilities, to a license
administrator who is, by default, root. If there is a UNIX group
called lmadmin, use is restricted to members only of that
group. If root is not a member of this group, root does not have
permission to use any of the mentioned utilities. If -2 -p is used
when starting lmgrd, no Windows user can shut down the
License Server with lmdownor use the lmswitch, lmswitchr,
and lmnewlog utilities.

-local Restricts the lmdown and lmreread commands so they can

run only from the same system where lmgrd is running.

-x lmdown Disables the lmdown command so no user can run lmdown. If

lmdown is disabled, stop lmgrd with the kill pid command,
or stop the lmgrd and vendor daemon processes through the
Windows Task Manager or Windows service. On Linux, ensure
that the kill command does not have a -9 argument.

-x lmremove Disables the lmremove command (no user can run lmremove).

-z Run in foreground. The default behavior is to run in the

background. If you specify-l debug_log_path, no windows
are used. If you do not specify the -l argument, separate
windows are used for lmgrd and each vendor daemon.

-v Displays the lmgrd version number and copyright, and then

exits.

-help Displays usage information, and then exits.

-reuseaddr Allows the server to explicitly bind to a same port, which remains
in TIME_WAIT state after the server restarts or crashes.

 EMC Licensing Solution

Start the License Server without a license file

If you have not obtained a license file, you can start the License Server by using the
lmgrd command. When you add a license file, you can also run a command to re-read
the file.
Procedure
1. To start the License Server without copying a license file to the license
directory, from a command prompt, type the following command:
#./lmgrd -l

/opt/emc/emclicenseserver/logs/lmgrd.log -c

/opt/emc/licenses

2. To view the log file, type the following command:

/opt/emc/emclicenseserver # cat /opt/emc/emclicenseserver/
logs/lmgrd.log

3. To view what is running as the License Server, type the following command:
/opt/emc/emclicenseserver # ps -aef | grep lmgrd
4. After you obtain a license file, copy the file to the license directory, /opt/emc/
licenses.
5. To reread the license file, type the following command:
#lmutil lmstat -a -c /opt/emc/licenses

#lmutil lmreread -c /opt/emc/licenses

lmutil application
In addition to lmgrd, you can use the lmutil application to manage some aspects of
the License Server. This application is available on all platforms.
lmutil application arguments
The following table provides a list of the valid arguments for most lmutil utilities.

Table 8 lmutil arguments

Argument Description
-c Most lmutil utilities need the path to the license file. This is specified with
<license_f the -c license_file_path argument.
ile_path>

-help Displays usage information and exits.

-v Displays the version of the utility and exits.

-verbose Displays a longer description for errors that are found.

For the first argument of a lmutil command, you can specify one of the following
utilities:
l lmdown—gracefully stops a license server system (manager and vendor daemon)
l lmhostid—calculates a hostid to identify a system or user

lmutil application 35
EMC Licensing Solution

l lmreread—instructs the license server system to reread license and option files,
and start new vendor daemons
l lmstat—displays the status of a license server system
l lmswitch—controls license server log location and size
l lmver—displays the version of a FLEXnet executable
The following table provides more information about the most common or useful
commands that are helpful for troubleshooting License Server issues.

Table 9 Useful lmutil commands

Command Purpose
lmutil lmhostid Obtains the MAC address system information
from the current system. A MAC address is a
valid node-locking choice (HOSTID=) and can
also be used in the SERVER line of a license
file to identify the License Server. If multiple
MAC addresses are listed by the command,
use the first one. For example:

lmutil lmhostid

Verify the MAC address with its use in any

license files. If the MAC address does not
match any of the relevant uses, a mistake
might have been made when the system
information was entered for license activation.

lmutil lmreread Forces the License Server to instruct the

EMC vendor daemon to reread the license file
for changes. Use this command if new or
changed license files are made available. This
command allows the License Server and the
EMC vendor daemon to continue to run and
to update the internal cache of the license
features from newly updated license files. For
example:

lmutil lmreread -vendor EMCLM

lmutil lmstat Use this command to determine the running

status of the License Server lmgrd. For
example:

lmutil lmstat -a

lmutil lmdown When you provide the name of the license file
that you used to start the License Server, this
command gracefully shuts down the License
Server and EMC vendor daemon. To ensure
that the proper processes are terminated,
specify the license file name. You might be

Additions to the NSR RAP resource

After you complete the License Server installation and setup, the NSR Resource
Access Protocol (RAP) resource is populated with the License Server information.
The following figure provides an example of the information.
Figure 6 NSR RAP resource

The attributes that are identified in the red square in the graphic (for example, CLP
License server and CLP License server port) are populated from the license file stored
in the NetWorker server host's /nsr/lic/ directory and from queries of the License
Server. These attributes are updated each time that you check out a license. Then
Solution ID and CLP SWID are read from a license that is checked out from the
License Server and not from the license file on the NetWorker server.

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model 39

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

Upgrading to NetWorker 9.0 and later and using traditional

enabler-based licensing
When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.0 and later, if you used the traditional enabler-
based model of licensing in your previous NetWorker version, you can use the new
EMC Licensing Solution with the capacity entitlement or continue to use the
traditional enabler-based licensing.
When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.0 and later, if you used the traditional enabler-
based model of licensing in your previous NetWorker version, you can use the new
EMC Licensing Solution with the capacity entitlement or continue to use the
traditional enabler-based licensing.
If you want to continue using traditional enabler-based licensing, you must still install
the EMC License Server and apply the update entitlement, which is provided in the
license file. Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker
and Requirements for new and upgraded installations provide more information.
The evaluation period provides 90 days during which to determine whether you want
to use the EMC Licensing Solution or continue using traditional enabler-based
licensing. It is recommended that you upgrade to the EMC Licensing Solution because
this model provides the most effective management of all NetWorker features and
available capacity.

About the traditional enabler-based licensing model

You can download and evaluate NetWorker software and added features, such as
modules, from the EMC Online Support website at https://support.emc.com. The
software can be evaluated for 90 days without an enabler code or license. The
evaluation process on page 42 provides information.
To permanently use the NetWorker software with the traditional enabler-based
licensing model, you must license the software on the EMC Licensing website and
apply the supplied licensing key to the NetWorker server. The license key includes
permanent enabler codes and corresponding authorization (auth) codes. Permanently
license the NetWorker software on page 46 provides information. Additionally, the
EMC Software Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides more details.

Base enabler
Each installation of NetWorker server software must be licensed with a server enabler,
called a base enabler. This enabler activates the software and validates the use of a
particular bundle of features, such as a specified number of clients and devices. All
license keys are entered and stored on the NetWorker server, which enforces the
licensing.
Base enablers come in different editions that enable varying degrees of functionality.
Add-on enablers allow a broad scope of additional features.

40 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

NOTICE

You cannot delete the base enabler. You can use the nsrcap command-line utility to
upgrade or downgrade the base enabler. However, after you upgrade or downgrade a
base enabler, you cannot restore to the original lower function base enabler. You must
obtain a new base enabler from EMC Licensing. For example, if you upgrade from
Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress to Work Edition, the original Work
Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new Work Edition base enabler from
EMC Licensing.

The following tips apply to the base enabler:

l As soon as the base enabler is entered, the evaluation mode ends. A function that
was available during a 90-day evaluation mode must be specifically enabled with
either an evaluation or permanent enabler.
l When entering a group of enablers, always type the base enabler last to avoid
disabling features that require a license that is separate from the base enabler.

Evaluation enabler
Evaluation enablers are free and must be applied on the NetWorker server. An
evaluation enabler extends the evaluation period for an additional 45 days. The
evaluation enabler cannot be extended or permanently enabled. It must be removed
from the production environment before or on its expiry date.
Evaluation enabler provides more information.

Update enabler
An update enabler is necessary to move from an existing major NetWorker release to a
newer major NetWorker release.
Updating within a minor release, for example, from NetWorker 8.2 SP1 to NetWorker
8.2 SP2, does not require an update enabler.
If an update enabler is required, the NetWorker software automatically adds the
required update enabler code to its configuration. The update enabler expires after 90
days. You must contact EMC Licensing within 90 days to permanently authorize the
update enabler.

NOTICE

If the authorization (auth) code for the update enabler code is not applied within 90
days, the NetWorker server software is disabled. Entering an auth code enables the
software even if the update enabler code has expired.

View the update enabler alert

An alert message is generated 45 days before a NetWorker update enabler code
expires. This alert remains until the NetWorker update enabler is authorized.
To view the license alert, use one of the following methods:
l In the NetWorker Administration window:
1. Click Monitoring.
2. Select the Alert tab.
l In the Console window, click Events.

Evaluation enabler 41
NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

l At the command prompt, type nsrwatch.

A colored icon within the alert message indicates that the update enabler will expire
within 45 days. The message appears daily up to and including the day of the update
enabler code expires.
Before the end of the evaluation period, contact Licensing at emc.com, your
authorized reseller, or the Dell EMC sales team to obtain your update authorization
code.
By the end of the evaluation period, you must permanently license the software to
continue using modules or features that you have evaluated. If you do not permanently
authorize the update enabler before its expiry, your backups might be impacted.
Permanently license the NetWorker software on page 46 provides information.

The evaluation process

EMC NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded
and evaluated for free from the EMC support website or the media kit.
You can evaluate NetWorker software in two ways:
l Evaluating a new installation of NetWorker software
l Evaluating features of an existing NetWorker installation
By the end of the evaluation period, you must permanently license the NetWorker
software to continue using modules or features that you have evaluated. Permanently
license the NetWorker software on page 46 provides information.

Evaluate a new installation of NetWorker software

When you first install the NetWorker software, you can evaluate the software with all
the modules and features for 90 days without entering any enabler codes or licenses.
Obtain evaluation enabler extensions on page 42 provides information about
extending the evaluation period for an additional 15 days.

Evaluating features of an existing NetWorker installation

If you are evaluating one or more NetWorker modules or features on an edition of
NetWorker software that has already been installed and licensed, perform the
following steps:
Procedure
1. Contact your Dell EMC sales representative or your authorized reseller who will
place an EVAL order on your behalf. As a result of the activation of your Eval
License Authorization Code (LAC) number, you will obtain a temporary license
key.
2. On the NetWorker server, type an evaluation enabler code for each module or
feature to be evaluated. Apply an evaluation enabler code on page 43 provides
information.

Obtain evaluation enabler extensions

Evaluation enablers are free and must be applied on the NetWorker server. A grace
period allows you to extend the evaluation period for an additional 15 days. The grace
period cannot be extended or permanently enabled. After the evaluation period and

42 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

Delete an enabler code

You can delete a license enabler code at any time, whether or not it has been
permanently authorized. The license is not removed when the software is uninstalled.

NOTICE

You cannot delete the enabler code that enables the basic NetWorker software, called
the base enabler. You can use the nsrcap command-line utility to upgrade or
downgrade the base enabler. However, after you have upgraded or downgraded a
base enabler, you cannot return to the original lower function base enabler. You must
obtain a new base enabler from EMC Licensing.

For example, if you upgrade from Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress to
Work Edition, the original Work Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new
Work Edition base enabler from EMC Licensing.

To delete an enabler code:

1. In the Administration window, click Configuration.
2. Click Registrations.
3. Right-click the name of the license that you want to delete, and then select
Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

License process flow

To permanently use the NetWorker software to back up and recover data, you must
license the software. The licensing process is the same for all NetWorker software
editions, and for the individual modules and features.
The following figure illustrates the licensing process flow.

44 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

Figure 7 NetWorker license process flow

During the NetWorker licensing process:

1. Dell EMC verifies the customer purchase order. The SysAdmin downloads the
NetWorker software from the EMC Online Support Site.
2. Dell EMC generates a License Authorization Code (LAC) letter and emails it to the
customer. SysAdmin installs the NetWorker software in evaluation mode.
3. The SysAdmin receives an email with the LAC and obtains the host ID of the
NetWorker server.
4. The SysAdmin applies the host ID and LAC to activate certificates.
5. EMC Licensing generates the certificates and allows you to save a copy of the
certificate or sends it as an email to the address of your choice.
6. The SysAdmin receives an email that includes the enablers and authorization
codes.
7. The SysAdmin applies the enablers and authorization codes for permanent
NetWorker licensing.
The NetWorker license process consists of the following basic steps:
1. Download and install the software for evaluation.
2. Purchase the required NetWorker product, options, and modules from Dell EMC or
an authorized partner. The purchase order for the software lists the requested
NetWorker product, options, and modules. Dell EMC sends a LAC certificate by
email in response to the valid purchase order.

NOTICE

If no evaluation period is required, the first and second steps can be performed
together.

3. At the EMC Licensing site:

a. Open the activation menu.

License process flow 45

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

b. Type the LAC and the host ID of the NetWorker server to obtain the software
license certificate.

Note

EMC Licensing confirms the license activation by email and gives you access to
your permanent entitlements online. You can also have the certificate sent to an
email address of your choice or print and save the certificate in a PDF. The
product license activation letter contains the license key (permanent enabler
codes and auth codes).

4. Apply the license key on the NetWorker server.

Permanently license the NetWorker software

To license the NetWorker software, perform the following tasks.

Install the NetWorker software for evaluation, if required

If this is a new installation, install the NetWorker software according to the
instructions in the NetWorker Installation Guide.
Installing the NetWorker software provides complete access to all NetWorker features
for an evaluation period of 90 days.

Send the purchase order

Send the NetWorker product customer purchase order list to Dell EMC or an
authorized partner.
The purchase can include a variety of products, such as a NetWorker server, client
packages, storage node packages, database modules, and deduplication.

Review the License Authorization Code letter

Upon receipt of a valid purchase order, Dell EMC sends a License Authorization Code
(LAC) letter by email to the specified customer contact. The information in the LAC
letter is used to activate the software license certificate. The NetWorker server’s host
ID is also required for the activation.
Review the LAC letter, which contains the following information:
l A LAC that you use to activate the product license keys. A license key consists of
permanent enabler codes and authorization (auth) codes.
l Instructions for activating the software and obtaining the license keys.
l Software download instructions, in case the NetWorker software has not yet been
downloaded in evaluation mode.
l A list of the purchased NetWorker products, along with their SKU and revision
numbers.
l The end user site name and address, which was specified when the purchase order
was entered.
l Contacts for licensing and support information.

46 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

NOTICE

Do not confuse a LAC with an auth code. LACs are used in EMC Licensing to obtain
and activate the license key. A LAC enables you to obtain an auth code, but it is the
combined application of permanent enabler and auth codes in NetWorker software
that permanently licenses the software.

Obtain the host ID of the NetWorker server

The host ID is required during the software authorization process. It identifies where
the NetWorker server is installed.
To ensure that EMC Licensing receives accurate information, use the host ID

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

3. Click Registrations.
4. Right-click the enabler code that you want to delete, and then select Delete.
Remove all of the old enablers from the NetWorker software. You can delete an
evaluation enabler code at any time. The license is not removed when the
software is uninstalled.

5. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

6. When prompted, repeat the license deletion task. This repetition prevents
accidental license deletion.
You cannot delete the following enablers:
l NetWorker update enabler
l Base enabler
The base enabler code enables the basic NetWorker software and can only be
upgraded or downgraded. Upgrade or downgrade the base enabler, if required
on page 50 provides details.

Upgrade or downgrade the base enabler, if required

If a base enabler is already installed on a NetWorker server for extended evaluation, an
error message appears when you attempt to install a new base enabler.
While you cannot uninstall the base enabler, you can upgrade or downgrade it.
Use the following procedure to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler.
Procedure
1. On the NetWorker server, open a command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type the following at the command:
nsrcap -u base_enabler_code -a authorization_code

Apply the license key on the NetWorker server

Apply the license key on the NetWorker server to complete the licensing process. The
product license activation email provides license keys, which consists of permanent
enablers and authorization codes.

NOTICE

If you installed evaluation enablers that are not yet expired, to license the NetWorker
software permanently you must apply the license key.
The recommended way to install NetWorker license keys is to automatically import
and install them from the license key file, which is provided by EMC Licensing.

If you cannot automatically import and install the license keys, you can manually install
them.

Use the following procedure to import and apply the NetWorker license keys from
EMC Licensing directly to a NetWorker server or a NetWorker License Manager
system.
Procedure
1. Log in to the NetWorker server with a user that has administrator access for
Windows hosts, or root access for LINUX hosts.

To work around this issue, start the NetWorker processes on the
NetWorker server.

Apply the license key on the NetWorker server 51

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

Product licenses
NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded and
evaluated for free from the EMC Online Support website or the media kit. The
software can be evaluated for 90 days without an enabler code or license. A grace
period allows you to extend the evaluation period for an additional 10 days for each
added feature.
To permanently use the NetWorker software, you must license the software on the
EMC Licensing site and apply the supplied licensing key on the NetWorker server. The
license key includes permanent enabler codes and corresponding authorization (auth)
codes.
The EMC Software Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides additional detailed
licensing information.

Calculate the required number of licenses

A predetermined methodology can help you calculate the number of required licenses
for a given configuration.

Note

Some licenses include other licenses, for example, a base license includes a specific
number of client licenses, so you must adjust the calculation for these instances.

Procedure
1. Start with the NetWorker server (the base license).
2. Determine the NetWorker Server Edition that you want.
3. Calculate the client licenses.
4. Calculate the dedicated storage node licenses.
5. Calculate the autochanger or silo licenses.
6. Calculate the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) licenses.
7. Calculate the Disk Backup Option (DBO) licenses.
8. Calculate any additional licenses, such as database module licenses.

NetWorker license tips

Calculating NetWorker licenses can sometimes be difficult. For example, recent
software changes might not yet apply to the current NetWorker release.
Always check the current version of the NetWorker Release Notes for your installed
release for possible licensing changes.

Archive licensing requirements

You must purchase and license the archive feature separately from other NetWorker
software components.
Before you license and use the NetWorker archive feature, ensure that you have a
device, either a stand-alone device or a device in an autochanger or silo, connected to
a NetWorker server or storage node. If you are cloning archives, you must have at
least two devices available.

52 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

Client connection license requirements

Every computer that is to be backed up in a NetWorker datazone requires a client
connection license, even the NetWorker server. The base enabler supports a certain
number of client connections.
If more client connections are required than the base enabler supports, their licenses
must be purchased separately. A Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) data
server requires a special type of client connection license. Contact your Dell EMC
sales team or your authorized reseller for more information.

Note

EMC ClientPak® enablers are no longer required. Client licensing is now based solely
on the client connection enablers.

Cluster licensing requirements

This section discusses NetWorker cluster licensing requirements.

NOTICE

Cluster-client connection enablers are no longer required. Cluster-client licensing is

now based solely on the client connection enablers. However, existing cluster-client
connection licenses are still honored. Each physical node of the cluster requires a
client license. Virtual clients of a cluster do not require their own license.

License requirements for a highly available NetWorker server

A client connection license is required for each physical node in the cluster on which
you intend to run the highly available NetWorker server.
In addition, a locally configured storage node, that is, a storage node that uses a
hostname that matches the physical hostname of the node that is running the
NetWorker virtual server, does not require a separate storage node enabler.
For example, on a node in a cluster with the physical hostname Node A, a remote
device defined as rd=NodeA:/dev/tape1 would not require a separate storage
node enabler while the NetWorker virtual server was running on Node A. An example
of this configuration is provided in the NetWorker Cluster Integration Guide.
The Power Edition base enabler is required to run the NetWorker server on a cluster.

Enabling cluster and virtual clients

NetWorker client licensing differentiates between stand-alone computers and
computers that participate in a cluster. The licenses are bound to physical nodes.
Therefore, after a client connection license is allocated, any virtual clients that are
running on that physical node can be backed up.

Requirements for backing up NetWorker modules on cluster clients

The following two scenarios apply to NetWorker modules in cluster environments.

Scenario One
To back up a NetWorker Module:

Client connection license requirements 53

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

l From the virtual client, an application module license is required for the virtual
client.
l From the physical host, an application module license is required for the physical
client computer.
For example, physical nodes A and B are clustered and run a database. Virtual node
C runs on this cluster and provides access to the database. If node C is the only
way the database is backed up, one database application module license is
required. If the physical node also backs up the database, a second database
application module is required. Client connection licenses are required for both of
the physical nodes.

Scenario Two
For active-passive clusters (a cluster in which one host is active and the other host is
used for failover) that are made up of physical hosts, one module license is required
per virtual hostname.
For example, four Solaris physical hosts that make up three active-passive DB2
clusters require three NMDB2 UNIX licenses.
To obtain a failover authorization code, add a failover host ID during the LAC
activation process. Alternatively, contact the licensing team who can assist you with
the transaction at licensing@emc.com

DDS licensing requirements

To enable Dynamic Drive Sharing (DDS), one license is required for each drive that is
to be shared. After a drive is licensed as shared, any number of storage nodes can
share it. DDS licensing is independent of library and storage node licensing.

NDMP licensing requirements

NetWorker clients that use the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
interface are licensed differently than standard client connections.
The following requirements apply to NDMP licensing:
l One NDMP Client Connection license is required to protect each NAS system that
uses NDMP, EMC Celerra, Network Appliance, and so on.
l Network-attached storage (NAS) systems with multiple data movers, such as
Celerra or multiple IP hosts, require only a single NDMP Client Connection
License. To share the license among multiple data movers or hosts, specify the
user-defined array name in the NDMP array name attribute of the Client resource.
l When you perform an NDMP-DSA backup, a Storage Node license is required.
l A file type device, which can also be used as a bootstrap device is supported for
NDMP operations. A DiskBackup license is required for the file type device.

NetWorker cloud licensing

Depending upon the NetWorker edition that was licensed, with a NetWorker cloud
backup option license, you can add an unlimited number of cloud backup devices.

NetWorker Data Domain device licensing requirements

One Data Domain Storage System Enabler is required per datazone.

54 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

The amount of Data Domain formatted storage available in a NetWorker datazone is

provided by a Data Domain Storage Capacity Entitlement license. No restriction, other
than the overall device limits for the datazone, is placed on the number of NetWorker
Data Domain Device resources that can be created. However, you must have
sufficient Data Domain Storage Capacity Entitlement licenses for the amount of Data
Domain storage that is used in the datazone.
The Data Domain server must be enabled with a DD Boost license. This is a Data
Domain license, not a NetWorker license. If clone-controlled replication will be used,
an additional Replication license is required.
To verify the license key, type type the following command from the Data Domain
console:

# license show

Note

For versions 5.2.x and later, the output should read OPENSTORAGE.

If you plan to use clone-controlled replication, add the Replicator license key that Data
Domain supplied, by typing the following command from the Data Domain console:
# license add license_key

NetWorker module licensing requirements

NetWorker modules are licensed on the basis of one enabler per database-type host.
For example, to back up the Oracle database on two hosts, two NetWorker Module for
Databases and Applications enablers are required, even if the two hosts are backed up
by the same server. However, if multiple Oracle instances are running on a single
NetWorker client, only one NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications enabler
is required.

NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications licensing information

The following section discusses the traditional licensing model requirements for
NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications (NMM). This information does not
apply to the NetWorker capacity licensing model because the NMM software is
included in the NetWorker capacity licensing model.

NMM licensing requirements

The NMM software is also a licensed module. This means that when you use the
traditional NetWorker licensing model, the NMM software requires an enabler code
and the authorization to enable permanent licensing.
Existing NMM enablers, that is, enablers that previous releases of NMM use, are valid
in an NMM environment, which means that new applications, such as Microsoft
Exchange 2012 and Microsoft SharePoint 2013 are supported for existing users. Users
must upgrade and configure the NMM software. After it is installed, the NMM
software supports the backup and recovery of both, the new and older Microsoft
server applications.

NetWorker module licensing requirements 55

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

Additional licensing requirements for NetWorker Module for

Microsoft Applications
Additional licensing is required in the following circumstances:
l Using Data Domain Boost with NMM—When you use a Data Domain Boost device
with the NMM software, ensure that the licensing required for using this device
type in the NetWorker datazone is in place.
The following software should be enabled for the solution to work:
n NetWorker server 8.2.x or later software
n Data Domain Device Type licensing. This licensing enables the NetWorker
software to define and address a Data Domain deduplication storage system
that uses Data Domain Boost
n Data Domain Boost must be enabled on the Data Domain system
l Using NMM as dedicated storage node—NMM supports dedicated storage nodes
(DSNs). The DSN license is required for any NMM client that is configured as a
DSN.
l Using client connections with NMM—A client connection license is required for
every NMM client in a NetWorker datazone. This is similar to the client connection
licensing that is used with previous releases of the NMM software. The only
difference is that the client software is installed separately from the NMM
software on the application host.
l Using NMM in a virtual environment—When you use the NMM software in a
virtual environment, you need one NMM license for each application type on the
physical host.
For example, in a VMware environment, if the user has a single ESX server that
hosts several SQL servers, one Exchange server, and three SharePoint servers,
the following NMM licenses will be required:
n 1 license covers the SQL virtual machines
n 1 license covers the Exchange virtual machine
n 1 license covers the SharePoint virtual machines
This is regardless of the application environment that is being used.
l Using NMM in a cluster environment—For cluster environments, you require one
NMM license for each active node. There are exceptions this requirement that
depend on the cluster type, the application, and where the backup takes place.
l Migrating from NME and NMSQL to NMM—For a NetWorker user who has
licenses for legacy NetWorker modules, such as the NetWorker Module for
Exchange (NME) or the NetWorker Module for SQL (NMSQL) software, the
existing license enablers will work to enable the NMM software, as long as the
NetWorker server that is in use is NetWorker 7.6 SP1 or later.

Note

Replacing the NME and NMSQL licenses with the NMM license code is not
required.

NMM licensing examples

The following table provides some examples of the NMM licensing rules. It focuses on
the traditional licensing model for a stand-alone server setup and a cluster setup for
both active-passive and active-active clusters.
There are differences between physical and virtual environments.

back up this environment, the
NMM software is installed on
and licensed for each of the
servers in the farm to ensure
a complete and consistent
backup. You do not need to
backup each web front end in
the environment. Protect only
one web front end to capture
a consistent farm backup. For
example, if the SharePoint
farm has one configuration
database server, two content
database servers, the search
index server and one web
front end, the user would
require five NMM licenses
(one for each of these
distinct entities).

NetWorker storage node licensing requirements

The following apply to storage node licensing.
l Each storage node requires a storage node license, in addition to its client
connection license.
Although the NetWorker server is also considered a storage node, it does not
require a separate storage node license.
l A storage node, on which you can only back up local data is licensed separately as
a dedicated storage node.
l Devices, such as files or jukeboxes, regardless of whether they are on the server,
storage node, or dedicated storage node, require device enablers.

58 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

NOTICE

If the NetWorker storage node software is disabled (if the NetWorker server is
disabled or the storage node enabler is expired), you will be unable to recover backed-
up data by using the storage node. To recover that data, you must move the remote
volume to a local drive that is connected to the server, and perform the recovery from
there.

Virtual environments simplified licensing

NetWorker includes a simplified licensing model for virtualized environments. The
NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Matrix provides a detailed list of supported
server virtualization environments.
Two attribute fields have been added to the General tab of the client resource to
identify the client as a virtual client:
l Virtual client—If the client is a virtual client, select Virtual Client.
l Physical host—if the client is a virtual client, in the Physical host field, type the
hostname of the primary or initial physical host that is hosting the virtual client.

Virtual Edition Client Connection license

The Virtual Edition Client Connection works with all server virtualization environments
that the NetWorker software supports.
The physical host that specify in the Client resource's Physical host attribute
consumes one Virtual Edition Client Connection license, regardless of how many
virtual clients are running on that host. If a virtual machine is licensed on one physical
host and then migrates to another physical host, the new physical host requires its
own Virtual Client Connection license. The physical hostname does not need to be
fully qualified and must be less than 64 bytes. All clients that share the same physical
host must use an identical name. Do not mix name formats such as short, FQDN, or IP
address.
To free a Virtual Client Connection license that has been assigned to a physical host,
you must remove all references to the physical host, by performing one of the
following actions:
l Change the virtual client or physical hostname attribute in the Client resources for
all virtual clients that reference the physical host.
l Delete all Client resources for virtual clients that reference the physical host.

NetWorker Modules in virtual environments

One license is required for each application type (Microsoft SQL, Exchange,
SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP) that is used within all of the virtual machines on a single
physical server. There are no changes to model codes for NetWorker Modules in a
virtual environment, so you can use existing codes and license enablers.
When NetWorker Module software is running natively on one or more virtual
machines, one module license per module type is consumed per physical host,
regardless of the number of virtual clients that are associated with that physical host.
The physical host itself requires a Virtual Edition Client Connection license. Every
physical machine that might host virtual clients with modules must be licensed in this
way.

Virtual environments simplified licensing 59

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

Applying the Virtual Client license to an existing virtual machine after upgrading from a previous
release
The Virtual Edition Client Connection license is not automatically applied to an existing
virtual machine after you upgrade NetWorker. As a result, the virtual machine uses
one standard client license for the preexisting virtual client instead of using the virtual
client license.
To take advantage of the Virtual Edition Client Connection licensing policies and free
up the standard client license, select the Virtual client attribute for this client
resource, and then specify the physical host.

Licensing NetWorker support for VMware

The following section provides information on NetWorker licensing requirements for
guest-based VM backups, VMware APIs for Data Protection (VADP), and the
NetWorker VMware Protection solution.

Physical ESX hosts in non-VADP configurations

The client license used for physical ESX hosts in non-VADP configurations is the
Virtual Edition Client license. This license enables backup from any resident guest VM
that has the NetWorker client software installed.

Guest-based licensing
For guest-based backups that do not use VADP or NetWorker VMware Protection
with vProxy appliance (NVP), and that have the NetWorker client installed on each
physical host that is running a virtualization technology (Virtual Machine), only one
Virtual Edition Client license is required per physical host. The Virtual Edition Client
license backs up an unlimited number of VMs or guest-host operating systems.

Guest-based backups that use this license include:

l VMware ESX servers
l Solaris zones
l LDOMs
l LPARs
l nPARs
l VPARs
l Microsoft Hyper-V
l Xen and others
The following licensing model is used:
l One NetWorker Module license is needed per application type, per physical host
for VADP-based backups and NVP-based backups.
l One client connection license is needed per physical host for non-VADP-based
backups and non-NVP-based backups.
l When using VMotion, each ESX server that hosts the source Virtual Machine or
destination Virtual Machine requires a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client license and
the appropriate application module license.
l For ESX servers that use VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and
VMware HA, a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client license is required for each ESX

60 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model

server in the ESX cluster farm. The appropriate number of module licenses
depends upon the applications running in the farm.
For example, an environment has 60 VMs on 5 ESX servers. Of the 60 VMs, six host
SQL Server, one hosts Exchange, and one hosts SharePoint. DRS and VMotion are
used and the entire farm needs to be protected. The following licenses are needed:
l Five NetWorker Virtual Edition Client licenses (one for each ESX server in the
farm)
l Seven NMM licenses
n For SQL, a minimum of (6, 5) = 5
n For SharePoint, a minimum of (1, 5) = 1
n For Exchange, a minimum of (1, 5) = 1
l For application backups, a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client and the appropriate
NetWorker Application module is required for each physical server. One license is
required for each application type (SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP)
used within all of the VMs on a single physical server. There are no changes to
model codes for NetWorker Modules, so you can use the existing codes and
license enablers.
For application protection, one NetWorker Module license is required per
application type, per physical host for all virtualization technologies, including
VMware ESX Server, IBM LPAR, and Solaris Domains.
For example, an ESX server hosting three Exchange servers requires only a single
NMM license. An ESX server hosting three Exchange servers and a SharePoint
server would require two NMM licenses, one license for the three Exchange
servers and one license for the SharePoint server.

NetWorker VMware Protection licensing

For the NetWorker VMware Protection solution that uses a traditional license and a
VMware Backup appliance or a proxy appliance requires a disk backup enabler because
this solution uses a single AFTD for NetWorker registration with the VMware Backup
appliance.

VADP licensing
For VADP backups of a VMware environment, one Virtual Edition Client license is
required per VADP proxy host, regardless of the number of VMs and ESX servers that
are configured to perform backups by using the proxy backup host.
Using existing licenses to support VADP after upgrade
When you upgrade to NetWorker 8.1 and later from a release previous to NetWorker
7.6 SP2, the VADP proxy is used instead of VCB. The existing license that the VCB
proxy used will automatically migrate to support the VADP proxy.

Virtual Tape Library licensing

A Virtual Tape Library Frame license must be purchased for each physical hardware
frame that supports VTLs. If the Virtual Jukebox attribute is set to Yes during
configuration, but a Virtual Tape Library license does not exist, the configuration will
succeed but subsequent library operations will fail.

NetWorker 45-Day evaluation enabler codes

The following table lists the 45-day temporary evaluation enabler codes for NetWorker
products. These codes can be used to extend the evaluation period on NetWorker
server products.

If your NetWorker software is purchased and licensed, you can use these codes to
evaluate the rest of the Dell EMC family of products. If more than one enabler code is
listed for a part number, any of the codes can be used.
Consider the following points:
l These enabler codes cannot be permanently authorized. To permanently authorize
NetWorker products, you must purchase new enabler codes, which can then be
authorized.
l Each evaluation enabler code can be entered on only one computer on the
network. If a code is entered on more than one computer on the same network, a
copy violation error occurs and the NetWorker server software is disabled.
l Case is important when entering enabler codes.

Knowledge base articles

The EMC Online Support site provides access to knowledge base articles to
troubleshoot common licensing issues with NetWorker 9.0 and earlier releases.
You can access licensing-related knowledge base articles directly at https://
support.emc.com/kb/463810.

Obtain NetWorker license information

To obtain license information from a NetWorker server, use the nsrlic command or
check the License Conformance Summary in the NetWorker Management Console
(NMC).
You can use the nsrlic command arguments for the following operations:

nsrlic argument Description

-C Checks the /nsr/lic/dpa.lic
and /nsr/lic/licspec.properties files
for syntax. It also attempts to contact the
EMC License Management (ELM) Server that
is specified in the dpa.lic file to check
whether a NETWORKER_CAPACITY or
NETWORKER_UPDATE entitlement is
available. The command then prints
information for the discovered entitlement, or
returns an error if no entitlements are found.

-L licensefilename Checks the syntax of the provided license file.

It does not contact the ELM server.

-P licspecpropertiesfilename Performs the same checks as nsrlic -C,

but it uses the provided
licspec.properties file and its
associated license file, which is specified in
the license properties license.path option.

-s networker_server Specifies the hostname of the NetWorker

server that you want to query.

-v Provides verbose license information.

The following sources provide more information:

l nsrlic man page on UNIX
l nsrlic man page information in the NetWorker Command Reference Guide
l NetWorker Administration Guide

Querying a server
Use the following procedure to query a NetWorker server.
To query a specific server, type the -s server option at the command prompt:
l On Linux and UNIX: /usr/sbin/nsrlic -s bacoor
l On Windows: networker_install_dir\bin\nsrlic -s bacoor
where bacoor is the server name that is being queried.

82 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 Troubleshooting and Best Practices

A report is produced that indicates various quantities and servers. This report includes
all client licenses, including those for modules and features such as NDMP. However,
it does not list device licensing details.

Querying a server for all information

To query a specific server for all information, type the -v argument at the command
prompt:
/usr/sbin/nsrlic -v bacoor
where -v is for a verbose query for a NetWorker server named bacoor.
This query may be helpful in troubleshooting license issues because it produces
verbose report that indicates various quantities.

License Conformance Summary

In the course of using NetWorker software to protect enterprise data, users add
clients, modules, and devices as needed. A summary report of the current license
information for any given NetWorker server can be helpful.
A summary report enables users to determine several things. For example:
l Which or how many products or features have been enabled
l Which or how many licenses have been purchased and authorized
l Which or how many of the licenses have been used and how many are still
available
l How many additional licenses might be needed
l Whether the number of licenses conforms to the number of licenses in use
From the Console, you can request a License Conformance Summary report that
shows relevant information about the NetWorker-related product licenses that have
been purchased or are being evaluated.
In NetWorker 9.0, capacity entitlement is manually assigned. The License
Conformance report will show only the capacity entitlements that the administrator
has assigned to the individual NetWorker server.
The information is presented in a tabular form that displays installed products, licenses
that are in conformance, and which additional licenses, if any, must be obtained to
close conformance gaps.
In addition to product and license information, the summary displays certain details
about the environment and the software version that the NetWorker server is running.

Displaying the License Conformance Summary

Follow this procedure to display the License Conformance Summary and review
licensing information.
Procedure
1. In the main Console window, on the taskbar, click Enterprise.
2. In the navigation tree, highlight a host and in the right pane, right-click
NetWorker, and then select Launch Application.
The NetWorker Administration window appears.
3. On the taskbar, click the Configuration.

License Conformance Summary 83

Troubleshooting and Best Practices

4. On the toolbar, select Configuration > License Conformance Summary .

The License Conformance Summary appears.
5. Click OK or Cancel to exit the summary.
6. You can also display the License Conformance Summary in the server’s
navigation tree. Right-click Registrations and select License Conformance
Summary.

License Conformance Summary details

The License Conformance Summary provides the following information:
l Server and environment information:
n NetWorker Server: Name of the NetWorker server.
n Version: NetWorker software release and build number.
n Full Conformance: Possible values are Yes, No, or, if in evaluation mode, Eval.
n Base License: Possible values include:
– The NetWorker edition that is installed
– Eval indicates evaluation mode.
– Yes or No indicates whether an authorization code has been applied to the
license.
– Disabled indications that the server has been disabled.
n Operating System: Operating system installed on the NetWorker server.
n Report Date: Date and time when the summary was created.
l License related information is displayed in the following columns:
n License: Type of license. For example, Storage Node, Client, module name.
n Number Used: How many licenses of this type have been used.
n Number of Licenses: How many licenses of this type are installed and not
expired on the server. While the license is in evaluation mode, the number
displayed is the maximum number possible for the license type.
n % Conformance: Degree to which the number of licenses purchased is less
than or equal to the number used. For DiskBackup Option and Virtual Tape
Library, this might be blank, because more than one device can be created for
each license of these license types.
n Notes: Additional information, specific to the license type, provided by the
system. For example, the capacity of a DiskBackup license.
n A checksum (five groups of generated alphanumeric characters) is listed at the
bottom of the summary if the summary contents are valid. Users may ignore
this line.
l For the DiskBackup Option (DBO) and the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) frames
license types, the Number Used is the number of DBO devices or VTL jukeboxes
that the user has created. The Number of Licenses is the number of DBO licenses
or VTL frame licenses that are installed. DBO and VTL are the only license types
for which the Number Used can exceed the Number of Licenses. This is because
more than one device can be created for each license of this type.
l The License Conformance Summary is not available for use with the NetWorker
License Manager software.

 Troubleshooting and Best Practices

l The License Conformance Summary supports the standard Console table

functions, such as Print and Export.
l A time-stamped snapshot License Conformance Summary is sent to the /nsr/logs
directory at the start of each quarter.
l The NetWorker server updates license information only once daily, at noon.
Changes made after noon will be reflected in the next day’s update.
l License Conformance is a new attribute for the server (nsr) resource.
l License Conformance Checksum is a new attribute used by the system to maintain
the integrity of the summary.
When viewing the License Conformance Summary, consider the following:
l For the DiskBackup Option (DBO) and the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) frames
license types, the Number Used is the number of DBO devices or VTL jukeboxes
that the user has created. The Number of Licenses is the number of DBO licenses
or VTL frame licenses that are installed. DBO and VTL are the only license types
for which the Number Used can exceed the Number of Licenses. This is because
more than one device can be created for each license of this type.
l The License Conformance Summary is not available for use with the NetWorker

NetWorker License Manager (legacy)

Note

If you plan to use the EMC Licensing solution, you do not require the NetWorker
License Manager. It is recommended that you skip the NetWorker License Manager
software installation during the NetWorker 9.0 install. When upgrading to NetWorker
9.0, you can back up the NetWorker License Manager by following the procedure
outlined in Backing up the NetWorker License Manager.

About the legacy NetWorker License Manager

For the legacy traditional model of licensing, the NetWorker License Manager
software provides centralized license management, which enables you to maintain all
of an enterprise’s NetWorker traditional licenses from a single computer.
With the NetWorker License Manager, you can move NetWorker software from one
computer to another, or change the IP address on an existing NetWorker server
without having to re-authorize the software. The NetWorker License Manager can be
installed as an option during the NetWorker software installation.
The latest NetWorker License Manager Installation and Administration Guide provides
more information on how to install and use the NetWorker License Manager.

Using an enabler code

Use the following procedure to add an enabler code by using the License Manager
software.
Procedure
1. From the Console window, click Setup.
2. Right-click Licensing, then select New. The Create dialog box appears.
3. In the Enabler Code attribute, type the enabler code and leave the other
attributes blank.
4. Click OK.

Using an authorization code

Follow this procedure to type an authorization code by using the NetWorker License
Manager software.
Procedure
1. From the Console window, click Setup and then click Licensing.
2. Right-click the license to be authorized, then select Properties. The
Properties dialog box appears.
3. In the Auth Code attribute, enter the authorization code for the product (the
authorization code assigned to the specified permanent enabler or update
enabler code).
4. Click OK. The license is now permanently enabled.

Backing up the NetWorker License Manager

This section provides instructions to back up the NetWorker License Manager if at
some point you want to restore an earlier version of NetWorker that uses the
NetWorker License Manager. Perform these steps before upgrading to NetWorker
9.0.
On the NetWorker License Manager server platform, two files that are related to the
License Manager appear in the /nsr/lic directory:
l /nsr/lic/res/lictype.res

88 NetWorker 9.2.x Licensing Guide

 NetWorker License Manager (legacy)

l /nsr/lic/res/lgtolm.res
The NetWorker License Manager database is a single file, /nsr/lic/res/
lgtolm.res, and contains all the information for the install base licensing. Note that
in most environments this file is typically stored on the platform where you installed
the NetWorker License Manager and not the platform where the NetWorker server is
installed.
To retain the lgtolm.res file, back up the NetWorker server and the /nsr/lic
directory on the NetWorker License Manager platform before you upgrade to
NetWorker 9.0. You can back up the NetWorker License Manager by using a standard
NetWorker save command (for example, savegrp) where the NetWorker License
Manager platform is created as a client and /nsr/lic is the save set.
Alternatively, you can use the following steps to create a client for the NetWorker
License Manager platform and a group for the platform/save set and then perform the
NetWorker License Manager backup. In this example, a NetWorker License Manager
package is installed on the host yoyodyne.com:
1. Create a client for the NetWorker License Manager. For example, yoyodyne.com.
2. Create a group for the client. For example, yoyodyne_nlm.
3. Edit the client yoyodyne.com properties to only use the yoyodyne_nlm group and
change the save set for the client to /nsr/lic.
4. Start a save for the client.
5. Back up the /nsr directory and its contents on the existing installation.
