Command-line interface (UNIX only)

Note:
You can log on to a NetBackup server from almost any server in a system to view, enter, and administer licenses. When you administer licenses remotely, make sure that you view the licenses of the system you intend to change. You do not want to add or change a license on the wrong server.
