Name

bpminlicense — manage NetBackup licenses

SYNOPSIS

bpminlicense [-path license_key_file | -M server] [-debug] [-verbose] -find_keys | -delete_keys | -add_keys keystring1...keystringn

bpminlicense [-path license_key_file | -M server] [-debug] [-verbose] [-list_keys] [-nb_features]

bpminlicense -nb_ufid fid [-debug] [-verbose]

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

The bpminlicense utility manages NetBackup licenses. The preferred method to manage NetBackup licenses is to use the Help > License Keys panel in the NetBackup Administration Console. For UNIX servers, you may use the get_license_key utility to manage the NetBackup licenses. This action is preferred to this command.

Any authorized user can run this command.

For more about NetBackup authorization, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

OPTIONS

-add_keys keystring1...keystringn

This option adds license keys to the license key file. It accepts one or more keys as input. By default, the license key file location is install_path\NetBackup\var\license.txt for Windows and /usr/openv/var/license.txt for UNIX and Linux.

-debug

Displays detailed information to standard error.

-delete_keys keystring1...keystringn

Deletes one or more license keys that are specified with the key value from the license key file.

-find_keys keystring1...keystringn

This option accepts one or more keystrings as input and finds it in license key file.

-list_keys

Lists the licenses in the NetBackup license key file.

-M server

Use the standard NetBackup license file from the specified NetBackup server.

-nb_features

Lists only active NetBackup feature IDs. When this option is specified with the -verbose option, the command also lists the active licenses.

-nb_ufid fid

Displays licensing information for a specific feature ID. For capacity-based features, the VALUE field is the total licensed capacity of all active license keys for the feature.

-path license_key_file

Uses the specified license_key_file on the local system. The default is the standard NetBackup license file. The NetBackup license file is found in install_path\NetBackup\var\license.txt for Windows and /usr/openv/var/license.txt for UNIX and Linux.

-verbose

Displays additional information to standard output. This option is ignored when used with the -nb_ufid option.

EXAMPLE

Example 1 - Display license information on feature 78, an OpenStorage Disk Option:

# bpminlicense -nb_ufid 78
0x05000000;PRID=6 (NetBackup Enterprise Server);FID=78 (OpenStorage
Disk Option);SERIAL=0;VALUE=10; DEXPIRE=2007/07/31 01:00:00 0 (Not
expired); UXDEXPIRE=1185861600 0 (Not expired);
UKEY=OENP-24NJ-PTJT-PPPP-PC6N-PPPP-PNPP-PPPP-POC6

Example 2 - The administrator wants to know if an active SAN Client license is installed:

# ./bpminlicense -verbose
OENC-CPP9-3ZUP-DO83-6PWB-8K4O-SKS7-774C-PPP6
