LVBackup is licensed to imitate the virtual tape libraries it is designed to compete with.  That means you need a license for each server that performs the SAV function.  This helps us keep the price of the software as low as possible.  When you license the software, we give you a key that corresponds to the MAC address of the TCP/IP adapter in the server, or to the hard drive serial number.
However, we realize that many iSeries users will want to use the software for off-site backup and file distribution.  To help make this easier, you can use the LVBackup Server software on as many servers as you want for restoring files to any iSeries server.  You only have to license the software when you are saving files from an iSeries host.
So if you want to SAVLIBLVB and distribute the result to 5, 50, or 500 iSeries hosts, you only need one licensed copy of the LVBackup Server software. Restore-only copies of the server software don’t need a license key and we cannot give them support.
