About managing Veritas System Recovery license policies
You can add or delete Veritas System Recovery license policies. When you add a license policy, the license key information is stored in the Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution database.
When you delete license policies, the license is removed from the computer and the license information is removed from the database.
After you add a license policy, you can assign it to resource targets with an unlicensed version or trial version of Veritas System Recovery installed.
You can assign or unassign Veritas System Recovery licenses to resource targets.
After you add a license policy, you can assign it to resource targets. The resource targets should have an unlicensed version or trial version of Veritas System Recovery installed. When you assign licenses, you activate Veritas System Recovery on the client computers and remove the 60-day trial.
Unassigning licenses from client computers returns Veritas System Recovery to a 60-day trial version. If you choose to delay installation of the license, all features in Veritas System Recovery remain enabled during a 60-day grace period. The grace period begins the first time you send a policy or a task to the managed client computer where Veritas System Recovery is installed.
You can unassign licenses from resource targets by using any one of the following methods:
-
Remove the resource targets that are associated with the policy.
Veritas System Recovery returns to a trial version on the affected resource targets.
-
Delete the license policy.
When you delete a license policy, the license is removed from the associated resource targets and the license file information is removed from the database. The policy is also removed from the License policy tree in the console.
-
Disable the license policy.
