IT Analytics Licensing Guide

Delete clients

For Backup Manager, if you purge clients, the table that tracks rejected clients automatically frees up the license slots so that other clients can be added. Use the host group management features to delete old clients.

Front End Terabyte (FETB) is used as a meter to calculate the licenses freed when the clients are purged. The below conversion factor is used to convert the number of clients to FETB:

1 FETB = 2.5 clients

Note:

Clients decommissioned in the native backup product, via removal from all active backup policies, consume an IT Analytics license until after 48 hours from the last backup.
