Hi Team,

I need to revoke vm license, Could you please help me. 

Please provide screenshot or steps.

 

  

@Ajinkya , are you looking to release the license a Virtual Server Agent uses, or capacity used by vm backups?

This describes how to release a client license:

@Mike Struening  - I have 100 license (100 vms). I want to add 2 servers and for that I need to revoke 2 license. 

Please let me know how can I do this?


@Ajinkya - Normally you can exceed a license up to the value of 110%, so in this case 110 from my experience

Also, Commvault doesn’t count the new servers until you run a full/synthetic full

I am currently at 107%, while I await the paperwork for a new license to go through my company

This may also help - https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/7008_license_administration_online_help.html


@jracjdb2 - Thank you for giving this document.

If I remove the vm from backup schedule means license is auto revoked or not ?

 


@Ajinkya - the licenses will not get recounted until the next full or synthetic full runs

So, if you remove the servers from your job, you won’t see a reduction immediately

The same applies for adding another server, until you run the next full or synthetic full, the license count will not get updated!
