About NetBackup licenses
NetBackup uses a common license system that other Cohesity products also use. However, the common license system provides flexibility in the license features that each product implements.
For example, NetBackup does not have a node-locked license system, but some other products do.
Licenses for all purchased NetBackup SKUs must be entered on the primary server. Enter licenses by using one of the following methods:
During NetBackup primary server installation
The installer prompts you to enter the licenses for all NetBackup products that you plan to install.
You must add either a NetBackup license file or use an in-built evaluation or a temporary production license during primary server installation. For more information, refer to the NetBackup Installation Guide or the following article:
