Virtual Server. (On a computer running Virtual
Server, a single protection agent installed on
the computer enables you to protect any
number of virtual machines, or guests, on the
host computer. To protect specific application
data within a virtual machine, such as to protect
the databases for an instance of SQL Server
running on a virtual machine, you must install a
protection agent directly to the virtual machine.
When you protect data on a virtual machine
that has a protection agent installed, the
appropriate license is used for the type of data
being protected.)

You do not use a license when you install a protection agent on a computer. The license is
applied only when data on a computer is added to a protection group. When you are no longer
protecting any data on a specific computer, you can reuse that license on another computer.
