Licensing Information

If your licensing information is in the form of a 25-character key on the back of the product CD or on a certificate from the CA License Program, simply input the key when prompted during installation. Each component you are installing (the base product, option, or agent) requires a license key.

CA ARCserve Backup licenses are installed on and checked centrally on the CA ARCserve Backup primary server. However, the following agents must be licensed on the servers where you are installing the agents:

• CA ARCserve Backup for Windows Agent for Oracle
• CA ARCserve Backup for Windows Agent for Sybase
• CA ARCserve Backup for Windows Agent for Informix
• CA ARCserve Backup for Windows Agent for Lotus Domino
• CA ARCserve Backup for Windows Enterprise Option for SAP R/3 for Oracle

If you initially install CA ARCserve Backup as a trial and have not purchased a license for any of these client agents, you need not enter a license for them. If you do have a license, it includes a count of the maximum number of agents per platform type.

The license dialogs allow you to add more licenses as your needs expand. Simply purchase the additional needed licenses and add them using one of the following methods:

• Access the License Verification Dialog by clicking the License button in the Manager Help/About dialog.
• Run calicnse.exe, which can be found in the following directory:

%ProgramFiles%\CA\SharedComponents\CA_LIC

Note: You can also use calicnse.exe to view the number of client agents that you are entitled to use.

If you have not installed the base product, you can run the bablicnse.exe program to enter licenses for database and application agents. You can locate this program in the individual installation directories for each database agent. The bablicnse.exe program displays the CA ARCserve Backup components and lets you enter the necessary license keys to license any components that you want to install.

Note: To add database and application agent licenses, you can also use calicnse.exe.

After you license your product, registration is recommended. You can register at the end of the installation process or after the product has been installed. If you choose to register after the product has been installed, use the Manager Help/About dialog to access the registration dialogs or run CARegIT.exe located in your ca_lic directory.
