Veritas Backup Exec Licensing and Packaging Overview
Licensing for Backup Exec has been consolidated into three editions: Bronze, Silver and Gold and can be licensed as either Perpetual or Subscription. Custom Edition (à la carte licensing) is still available as Perpetual for both new and renewing customers. All existing Backup Exec customers using à la carte, V-Ray, Capacity or Capacity Lite editions with current maintenance can access the features included in Backup Exec 20.3 and can add to existing entitlements using their current model and continue to renew maintenance based on the edition in use. Customers with existing editions and the older licensing models can cross-grade to Bronze, Silver or Gold editions to take advantage of the greater usage flexibility, ease of maintaining a single license, and cost savings.
Backup Exec Perpetual Licensing
A perpetual license allows customers to use a specific version of a given software program indefinitely with payment of a single fee. With perpetual licensing, customers pay an upfront charge for the software license as well as a limited maintenance period during which additional support options are included. After the support period ends, customers have the option of continuing to use the current version of the software without additional support or paying additional fees for support and upgrades.
Backup Exec Subscription Licensing
A subscription or term-based license allows customers to license the product during a specified period of time (either 12, 24 or 36 months); maintenance is included in the price. During the term of the subscription, customers have the right to use the product, install product updates, and receive technical support. Customers do not own the license, but they will have all the entitlements of ownership as long as they are subscribers. At the end of the term, customers can renew the subscription to continue using the product. If subscription is not renewed, customers lose the right to continue to use the product for backups, restores are allowed.
Bronze, Silver and Gold Editions
The Backup Exec Bronze, Silver and Gold offerings include unlimited deployment of the Backup Exec server, options and agents, as long as the number of front-end terabytes (FETB) of data being protected does not exceed the number of terabytes specified by your license, with a minimum of 1TB license per Backup Exec server. You may purchase licenses for as many TB as you need based on the amount of data that needs to be protected. Download the Veritas Capacity Assessment Tool to calculate the amount of data, in TB, on the servers in an environment to provide information about the number of licenses needed to protect these servers. Discounts on perpetual and subscription capacity-based offerings are available for higher data volumes. Tier discounts will be applied at the time of transaction on individual order line quantity. The quantity tiers are:
License Meter
Front-end terabytes (FETB) Meter
Backup Exec allows you to purchase licenses for the total number of front-end terabytes (FETB) needed and allocate different capacity licensing to different Backup Exec servers, including those on different sites.
For example, you can purchase a license for 12 FETB and distribute or allocate across multiple servers, such as 4 TB to Server A and 3 TB each to Servers B and C and 2 TB to Server D. In this example there would be 12 TB available and 12 TB allocated among 4 servers. To add capacity to any of these servers, the new license must be the same Bronze/Silver/Gold edition as the existing license. In this example if 2 more TB were purchased, there would be 14 TB available and 12 TB allocated. Servers with allocated licensing do not have to be centrally managed.
When licensed capacity is exceeded, Backup Exec will notify users that there are 30-days remaining to license more capacity. When the countdown expires, backup jobs will fail, restores are still allowed. Up to three “test” backups can be removed from the capacity usage calculation every 30 days. Backups removed from the capacity usage calculation can still be restored. Both Smart Meter in the Licensing Portal (VEMS) and the Backup Exec Console Home Page display allocated licensed capacity and capacity usage information.
Instance Meter
Backup Exec 21.0 introduces instance meter that allows you to purchase licenses based on the number of instances that you want to protect. When licensed on instance basis, you must purchase instances in groups of 10. An instance is defined as a protected Windows, Linux, Unix or NAS instance, such as a virtual machine, a cloud computing instance or a physical system in the datacenter.
Licenses on instance basis can be allocated across multiple Backup Exec Servers with a minimum of 1 instance per Backup Exec Server. Bronze, Silver or Gold Instance Edition cannot be combined with Custom Edition (à la Carte), V-Ray Edition, Bronze, Silver or Gold FETB Edition, and cannot be mixed perpetual and subscription.
