408.0. "License options ??" by WOTVAX::SPREADBURY () Tue Mar 25 1997 11:07

    
    
    
    Can someone advise ABS licensing requirements:
    
    I can't work out from the 2.1 SPD which licenses I should sell
    to my customer.
    
    My customer is evaluating ABS 2.1 on an Alpha 4100 but will be
    deploying ABS to backup all the VMS machines in his datacenter,
    some are clustered and some not (there are 300 VMS systems in total 
    spread over 50 locations).
    
    Which machines need server licenses and which need client licenses -
    I know I need one ABS Server license, I assume other nodes which are 
    being managed by the Server need a Client license.
    
    Correct ?.
    
    Regards

	Peter, Your assumption is correct. Only the machines that act as a server (and you can have multiple servers to accomplish fault tolerance) need a server license (this includes a client license). All other nodes need a client license Hans van Sluis

Peter,

Your assumption is correct.

Only the machines that act as a server (and you can have multiple servers
to accomplish fault tolerance) need a server license (this includes a client
license).

All other nodes need a client license
