Adding a Vault license on a Windows system

When preparing to license NetBackup Vault on a Windows system, the NetBackup primary server must be installed and running on the Windows computer. Vault cannot be installed on a NetBackup media server or on a NetBackup client. In addition, you must have a valid NetBackup Vault license.

Note:

If the license for NetBackup Vault was included in the license for the base NetBackup product, you do not have to perform this procedure.

To add a Vault license on a Windows system

  1. Select Help > License management.
  2. Select Add license.
  3. Select the license option and follow the prompts.
  4. Select Add.
  5. To complete a new installation, you must configure the NetBackup attributes that Vault uses. You must also identify which NetBackup policies you want to use with Vault (or create new ones to use with Vault). Be sure to configure an email address for notification of sessions status and enter alternate media server names, if appropriate.
