About this guide

This guide describes the licensing options available in NetWorker 19.3 that you can use to permanently license the NetWorker software.
You can download the software from https://support.emc.com. NetWorker 19.3 has extended the license-free trial period without
requiring a license to 90 days. NetWorker enters evaluation mode for 90 days and a grace period of 30 days is activated automatically ( a
total of 120 days). NetWorker 19.3 allows you to use a served or unserved license.
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.

Differences between served and unserved licenses

NetWorker 19.3 allows you to use a served or unserved license. A served license requires installation and configuration of the Dell 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.

Table 3. Differences between served and unserved licenses

After installing the Dell EMC License Server software, use the following procedures to determine the License Server IP address.
On Windows:
1. Go to Start > Run.
2. Type cmd and click OK to open a command prompt.
3. At the C:\> prompt, type "C:\Program Files\DellEMC LicenseServer\lmutil" lmhostid -internet -v4, and
then press Enter.
On Linux:
1. Open a command shell.
2. At a shell prompt, type lmutil lmhostid -internet -v4, and then press Enter.

Locating the NetWorker Server IP address

After installing the NetWorker Server software, use the following procedures to determine the NetWorker Server IP address.
On Windows:
1. Go to Start > Run.
2. Type cmd and click OK to open a command prompt.
3. At the C:\>prompt, type ipconfig, and then press Enter.
On Linux:
1. Open a command shell.
2. At the shell prompt, type ifconfig, and then press Enter.
NOTE: In case of cluster and multiple NIC environments, mention all the IP addresses in CLP license file with space
as separator. HOSTID="INTERNET=IP_1 INTERNET=IP_2 ……" is the HOSTID attribute in license file for cluster and
multiple NIC environment.

How to obtain the NetWorker license

This section provides information on how to obtain the NetWorker license for the following scenarios:
• New installation for NetWorker 19.3 license file (both served and unserved license)
• Update entitlement/upgrade for NetWorker 19.3 license file (both served and unserved license)
• Conversion from served to unserved license

16 Licensing the NetWorker Server

New installation for NetWorker 19.3 license file (both
served and unserved license)
Visit https://licensing.emc.com/ to activate your software.
You will need the following details to complete the activation:
• Dell EMC Sales Order number or the LAC number. You obtain these details from the LAC letter that you receive from Dell EMC after
the order fulfillment.
• If served license needs to be generated, you will need the IP address and the hostname of the license server to complete the
activation.
• If unserved license needs to be generated, you will need the IP address and the hostname of the NetWorker server to complete the
activation.

Update entitlement/upgrade for NetWorker 19.3 license

file (both served and unserved license)
As soon as the upgrade is complete, raise a service request to get the Dell EMC licensing team engaged to assist you in generating the
update file.
To open a service request:
• Contact Dell EMC live support team by calling:
○ US Toll Free 800-782-4362 and selecting option 4.
○ This team is available 24/7 to help you create your service requests only.
○ International Toll Free numbers are found at EMC support page.
In the service request, mention the following details for quicker resolution:
• Host ID of the NetWorker server that has been upgraded.
• If served license type is required, the IP address and the hostname of the license server.
• If unserved license type is required, the IP address and the hostname of the NetWorker server.

Conversion from served to unserved license

Visit the software licensing central https://licensing.emc.com/ to change the license type from served to unserved by performing a
Rehost and then selecting the type as Unserved in the drop down page of Step3: Enter Rehost details and select the type as Unserved.
You will need the following details to complete this process:
• IP address and the hostname of the license server using which the served license was generated.
• IP address and the hostname of the NetWorker server for which the unserved license needs to be generated.

Conversion from traditional based licensing to capacity

based licensing
Customers on current support can migrate from the product based model to the capacity based model. This would give them access to all
Networker products at no extra cost. The customer should work with their Dell/EMC sales account team to start the process.

Installing the Dell EMC license server (served

licenses only)
After you install the NetWorker software, if using a served license you must install the Dell EMC License Server to enable the Dell EMC
Licensing Solution. Installation packages for the License Server are available from the same download location as the NetWorker software.

Prerequisites
Ensure that you install the License Server on a system that is accessible to all datazones that will require access to the License Server.

Licensing the NetWorker Server 17

If you do not install the License Server during the NetWorker software installation, you can install this server later. If NetWorker does not
detect the license and an nsrd check does not discover any licenses, NetWorker enters evaluation mode for 90 days and grace period of
30 days is activated automatically. You can install the License Server at any time during the evaluation period to enable the Dell EMC
Licensing Solution.
Review this section for basic instructions about how to install the License Server on a Windows or Linux 64-bit platform. Use the License
Server Installation and Administration Guide for complete License Server installation and setup instructions.

NOTE: Installation of the License Server on a NetWorker Virtual Edition (NVE) appliance is not supported.

Install the license server (Windows 64-bit platform)

After you complete the NetWorker 19.3 installation, install the License Server from the 64-bit Windows package. For the license server
package name for Windows, refer to table 9.

Prerequisites
During the NetWorker installation, do not select the option to install the NetWorker License Manager software. To use the Dell EMC
Licensing Solution, the NetWorker License Manager is not required.

About this task

If using a served license, the License Server is required for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker 19.3, even if you plan on using
traditional enabler-based licensing.

Steps
1. Download the Windows 64-bit installation package from the same location that you downloaded the NetWorker software from.
2. Start the Dell EMC License Server Setup wizard. For example, open the DellEMC_LicenseServer_3.6.x_x64.msi file.
The following figure displays the Dell EMC License Server Setup Wizard.

Figure 6. Dell EMC license Server Setup Wizard

3. Click Next to review and accept the License agreement.

4. Leave the destination folder for the installation of the Dell EMC License Server software as C:\Program Files\DellEMC
LicenseServer\.
5. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the wizard.

Results
When the installation completes, a shortcut for the LMTOOLS utility

appears on 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 served license file and LMTOOLS configuration on
Windows.

18 Licensing the NetWorker Server

Install the license server (Linux 64-bit platform)
After you complete the NetWorker 19.3 installation, install the License Server from the 64-bit Linux package. For the license server
package name for Linux, refer to table 9. If using a served license, the License Server is required for new and upgraded installations of
NetWorker 19.3, even if you plan on using the traditional enabler-based licensing model. For more information on license server package
for Linux, refer to table 9.

Prerequisites
On the License Server, create a folder called /opt/dellemc/licenses, and copy the license file that you obtain from Dell EMC
Licensing to this folder.
NOTE: During the NetWorker 19.3 installation, do not install the NetWorker License Manage package, lgtolicm. The
NetWorker License Manager is not required to use the Dell EMC Licensing Solution.

Steps
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/dellemc # rpm -v -i /tmp/dellemclicenseserver-3.6.x-x.x86_64_lsb.rpm
4. To confirm that the installation was successful perform the following steps:
a. Type ls /opt/dellemc/licenseserver/
b. In the directory listing output, verify that the following files were extracted:
• EMCLM
• lmgrd
• lmutil
• 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 served 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, 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.

Prerequisites
It is recommended that you obtain the license file before you install the License Server. When 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. Any random ports of NetWorker server will initiate a connection
to the static ports of ELMS server that are defined in the served license file. By default, the static port for ELMS server is 27000 and
VENDOR EMCLM port is 27001. You must ensure that these ports are opened in the ELMS server.

Steps
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.

Licensing the NetWorker Server 19

 Figure 7. Sample license file with Capacity Entitlement

2. When 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:
• On Windows: C:\Program Files\DellEMC LicenseServer\elms\licenses
• On Linux: /opt/dellemc/licenses

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. To apply the license in
the NetWorker server, follow the steps in the section NetWorker 19.3 new installation with served license.
NOTE: If you use FTP on Linux, ensure that the file permissions do not change.

Managing the Dell EMC License Server (served

licenses only)
After you install the License Server and set up the license file on the License Server and the NetWorker Server, you must complete the
configuration by starting the License Server.

Manage the License Server (Linux)

On Linux, you can manage and start the License Server with the lmgrd command.

Prerequisites
Before you run the lmgrd command, ensure that you complete the following tasks:
• Create the/opt/dellemc/licenses for the license file and the /opt/dellemc/licenseserver/logs directory for the log
files.
• Add the license file that you received from Dell EMC Licensing to the /opt/dellemc/licenses directory.

Steps
1. To start the License Server, at the command prompt, type lmgrd.
# ./lmgrd -l /opt/dellemc/licenseserver/logs/lmgrd.log -c /opt/dellemc/licenses
2. To manage the License Server, type the lmgrd command with the following arguments:
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 6. 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.

Licensing the NetWorker Server 21

 Table 6. lmgrd arguments(continued)
Argument Description
-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.

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.

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

22 Licensing the NetWorker Server

Table 7. lmutil arguments
Argument Description
-c Most lmutil utilities need the path to the license file. This is specified with the -c license_file_path argument.
<license_file_
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:
• lmdown—gracefully stops a license server system (manager and vendor daemon)
• lmhostid—calculates a hostid to identify a system or user
• lmreread—instructs the license server system to reread license and option files, and start new vendor daemons
• lmstat—displays the status of a license server system
• lmswitch—controls license server log location and size
• 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 8. 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 Dell 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 Dell 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 Dell EMC vendor daemon. To ensure that the
proper processes are terminated, specify the license file name. You
might be asked to confirm the shutdown before proceeding. For
example:
lmlmutil lmdown -c <license_file_list>

Additional Information About NetWorker
Licensing
The Appendix includes the following topics:
Topics:
• About the traditional enabler-based licensing model
• The evaluation process
• License process flow
• Permanently license the NetWorker software
• Product licenses

About the traditional enabler-based licensing

model
You can download and evaluate NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, from the Dell 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
29 provides information.
To permanently use the NetWorker software with the traditional enabler-based licensing model, you must license the software on the Dell
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 32 provides information.
Additionally, theDell 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.
NOTE: 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 Dell 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 Dell EMC Licensing.
The following tips apply to the base enabler:
• 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.
• 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.

28 Additional Information About NetWorker Licensing

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 Dell EMC Licensing within 90 days to permanently authorize the update enabler.
NOTE: 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:
• In the NetWorker Administration window:
1. Click Monitoring.
2. Select the Alert tab.
• In the Console window, click Events.
• 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 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 32 provides information.

The evaluation process

Dell EMC NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded and evaluated for free from the Dell EMC
support website or the media kit.
You can evaluate NetWorker software in two ways:
• Evaluating a new installation of NetWorker software
• 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 32 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 30 provides information about extending the evaluation period for an additional 30 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

same for all NetWorker software editions, and for the individual modules and features.
The following figure illustrates the licensing process flow.

Figure 10. 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 Dell 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. Dell 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.

Additional Information About NetWorker Licensing 31

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.
NOTE: If no evaluation period is required, the first and second steps can be performed together.
3. At the Dell EMC Licensing site:
a. Open the activation menu.
b. Type the LAC and the host ID of the NetWorker server to obtain the software license certificate.
NOTE: Dell 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

About this task
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.

About this task

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.

About this task

Review the LAC letter, which contains the following information:
• A LAC that you use to activate the product license keys. A license key consists of permanent enabler codes and authorization (auth)
codes.
• Instructions for activating the software and obtaining the license keys.
• Software download instructions, in case the NetWorker software has not yet been downloaded in evaluation mode.
• A list of the purchased NetWorker products, along with their SKU and revision numbers.
• The end user site name and address, which was specified when the purchase order was entered.
• Contacts for licensing and support information.
NOTE: Do not confuse a LAC with an auth code. LACs are used in Dell 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.

Delete all the evaluation enabler codes, if required
If your evaluation requirements extend beyond 30 days, you might have installed some evaluation enablers.

About this task

Before the license key is applied on the NetWorker server to permanently license the software, you should delete all the evaluation
enablers except the base enabler. The evaluation enabler cannot be permanently authorized.

Steps
1. Use the nsradmin command to save all of your old enabler codes in a text file.
For example, from a command prompt, type the following command:
echo print type : NSR license | nsradmin > saved_enablers.txt

2. In the Administration window, click Configuration.

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:
• NetWorker update enabler
• 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 35 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.

About this task

While you cannot uninstall the base enabler, you can upgrade or downgrade it.
Use the following procedure to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler.

Steps
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.

About this task

NOTE: 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 Dell EMC Licensing.

Additional Information About NetWorker Licensing 35

 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 Dell EMC Licensing directly to a NetWorker server or a
NetWorker License Manager system.

Steps
1. Log in to the NetWorker server with a user that has administrator access for Windows hosts, or root access for LINUX hosts.
2. Download the license key files.
3. Ensure that no NetWorker backups are running.
4. Run the following nsradmin commands from a comand prompt, in the directory where the license key file is located. You can run the
nsradmin command from any NetWorker client, storage node, or server:
• To install the NetWorker license keys on a local NetWorker server, type:

nsradmin -i license_key_file > output_file

• To install the NetWorker license keys on a remote NetWorker server, type:

nsradmin -i license_key_file -s server_name > output_file

• To install the NetWorker license keys on a NetWorker License Manager system, type:

nsradmin -i license_key_file -s server_name -p 390115 > output_file

5. Open and review the output_file for success or failure messages to ensure that the NetWorker licenses have been properly installed:
• Successful entry message:
If the first attempt to load a license was successful, an entry similar to the following one appears in the output file:
C:\PROGRA~1\Legato\nsr\bin\std>nsradmin -i infile created resource id
25.0.0.20.96.108.23.72.137.69.168.135(1) Current query set updated resource id
25.0.0.20.96.108.23.72.137.69.168.135(2)
• Failed entry message:
○ This entry in the output file indicates that the license already exists in NetWorker and you can ignore the message:
C:\PROGRA~1\Legato\nsr\bin\std>nsradmin -i infile
create failed: A license enabler already exists with enabler code xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx
Current query set
updated resource id 25.0.0.20.96.108.23.72.137.69.168.135(3)

If the nsradmin command has previously been used to install licenses on a host, failure messages might be generated for
NetWorker licenses that already exist.
○ This entry in the output file indicates that the NetWorker server processes are not running on the system:
C:\PROGRA~1\Legato\nsr\bin\std>nsradmin -i infile pasb-tomp 39078:nsradmin: RPC error:
Program not registered (severity 4, number 15)
To work around this issue, start the NetWorker processes on the NetWorker server.

Product licenses
NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded and evaluated for free from the Dell 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 Dell 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 Dell EMC Software Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides additional detailed licensing information.

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.
These codes can be used to extend the evaluation period on NetWorker server products for customers that wish to evaluate the
NetWorker software and available modules and features. These codes can also be used for Dell EMC field internal testing and
demonstration purposes.
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:
• These enabler codes cannot be permanently authorized. To permanently authorize NetWorker products, you must purchase new
enabler codes, which can then be authorized.
• 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.
• Case is important when entering enabler codes.

Troubleshooting and Best Practices
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:
• Which or how many products or features have been enabled
• Which or how many licenses have been purchased and authorized
• Which or how many of the licenses have been used and how many are still available
• How many additional licenses might be needed
• 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 9.0.1 and later, 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.

About this task

Steps
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.
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:
• Server and environment information:
○ NetWorker Server: Name of the NetWorker server.
○ Version: NetWorker software release and build number.
○ Full Conformance: Possible values are Yes, No, or, if in evaluation mode, Eval.
○ Base License: Possible values include:
▪ The NetWorker edition that is installed

Troubleshooting and Best Practices 55

 ▪ 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.
○ Operating System: Operating system installed on the NetWorker server.
○ Report Date: Date and time when the summary was created.
• License related information is displayed in the following columns:
○ License: Type of license. For example, Storage Node, Client, module name.
○ Number Used: How many licenses of this type have been used.
○ 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.
○ % 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.
○ Notes: Additional information, specific to the license type, provided by the system. For example, the capacity of a DiskBackup
license.
○ 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.
• 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.
• The License Conformance Summary is not available for use with the NetWorker License Manager software.
• The License Conformance Summary supports the standard Console table functions, such as Print and Export.
• A time-stamped snapshot License Conformance Summary is sent to the /nsr/logs directory at the start of each quarter.
• The NetWorker server updates license information only once daily, at noon. Changes made after noon will be reflected in the next
day’s update.
• License Conformance is a new attribute for the server (nsr) resource.
• 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:
• 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.
