Amanda Enterprise Licenses 

 

The Licenses page under Settings on ZMC provides a view for the list of Amanda feature licenses. The Amanda licenses are counted based on the number of hosts protected. Amanda server is also a client and uses up a license. 

Licensed Features Summary  

The licensed features summary shows the number of licenses available for each feature (Licensed), number of licenses that have been used (Used), number of license remaining(Remaining) and when the featured license expires (Expires on).  

When the featured licenses is about to expire in less than 30 days, a notification will be triggered on the license page as shown below. User can contact zmanda sales team to renew the license.  

When feature licenses are used up, it is not possible to add any more DLEs of that type. If Amanda server license (Unix file system) expires, all backups will not be performed. So, it is important to renew licenses before the expiration date.
