addition to files. On a server cluster, DPM installs an agent on each node of the cluster. A license

is used for each server node.

SQL Server. (A DPM protection agent on a

computer running SQL Server entitles you to

protect databases for all SQL instances on that

computer.)

Enterprise

Exchange Server.

Enterprise

Windows SharePoint Services. (On a Windows

SharePoint Services farm, a license is used for

each back-end server and one license is used

for the front-end Web server.)

Enterprise

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.)

Another DPM server.

Data for bare metal recovery using DPM

System Recovery Tool.

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.
