Licensing requirements

No licensing is required for VTL emulations unless using the Security features, Data at Rest

VTL replication requires a license on the target site, but only if VTL replication is used.

Replication encryption using IPSEC is part of the Security license but is enabled via the CLI.
See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide.
