3. You purchased a Network Edition for 10 clients, and now want to add support for another 6 clients.

4. You wish to install a new optional feature.

Administrator License

When the software is initially installed, you indicated the type of administrator you would be installing. This
was Workstation, Network, or TSM Edition. You also entered a license key, which matched the
administrator license type, and also indicated the number of clients supported by a Network or TSM Edition
and the expiration time (if any) of the license.

Optional Features

Also, there are additional features available that require their own software license:

1. Backup Encryption: The license key will indicate the number of clients that are to support backup

data encryption. When installing this license, you will be able to apply data encryption to the
number of clients the license supports. If you have a Workstation Edition license installed, a
Backup Encryption license is a single license for the local system.

2. TSM Client Backup Feature: This optional feature may be added to Network Edition to allow any

SBAdmin backup to be performed to a TSM server. This feature will support any number of TSM
servers. You must also configure each of your clients with TSM node information, but you may only
configure the number of TSM nodes up to the number of clients the license supports.

Note that this is not the same as TSM Edition (administrator license). The TSM Edition provides
only TSM client and server options and only

System Backup

options. Adding TSM Support to the

Network Edition provides all of the options of both Network Edition and a TSM Edition.

When entering this function, your current Administrator License information is displayed. In the License Type
section, you may select a different Administrator License Type (Workstation, Network or TSM), or you can
select an optional feature (Encryption, TSM). When you select a different option in the License Type section,
the current license information for that feature is displayed.

Any Administrator license or optional feature may be installed for a 30-day, one-time, trial period. After that, a
permanent license key is required for the administrator and each optional feature, which may be obtained from
Storix.

After selecting either the Administrator License or the Optional Feature, you may add or change the license
information. This includes changing from a trial to a permanent license (or vice-versa), entering a permanent
license key, and the name of the person or company the product is registered to (also provided by Storix and
must match the license key).

When you have completed all entries, press the

Save/Exit

button. The software will be reconfigured. In some

cases, the administrator program (sbadmin) must be terminated and restarted for the changes to appear.
