Is the consumption of Operating Instances (500GB capped) counted based on the total capacity of a host or the backup data transaction size per job?

For example, if a physical server has a total capacity of 1TB and is used for SQL databases with a backup data size of around 200GB per job daily, how many OI licenses are needed for this scenario if the customer wants to use OI licenses? I'd like to clarify whether it's based on the total capacity of the server or the backup data size per-job transaction.

Hi @Paing Htoo ,ad 

Operating instance and capacity license are two different module.

operating instance license will be 1:1 ratio if SQL DB is added as individual client then the OI license consumption will be one.

However the 500 GB capping is set for every single backup Job that gets imitated against the client machine.

Thanks for your explanation. So, if I understand correctly, only one license is required for my example scenario since the backup data size is around 200GB per job, which is within the 500GB capped limitation, is that right?

@Paing Htoo  Yes Correct.
