DESCRIPTION

The bpminlicense utility manages a NetBackup license file. The preferred method to manage NetBackup licenses is to use the Help > License Keys panel in the NetBackup Administration Console. For UNIX servers, you may use the get_license_key utility to manage the NetBackup licenses. This action is preferred to this command.

Any authorized user can run this command.

For more information about NetBackup authorization, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

OPTIONS

-add_keys | -delete_keys | -find_keys keystring1 .. keystringn: Respectively, these options find and list, add, or delete one or more specified keystrings in the NetBackup license file.
-debug: Displays detailed information to standard error.
-list_keys: Lists the keys in the NetBackup license file.
-M server: Use the standard NetBackup license file from the specified NetBackup server.
-nb_features: Lists only active NetBackup feature IDs (and active keys when specified with the -verbose option).

-path license_key_file: Uses the specified license_key_file on the local system. The default is the standard NetBackup license file.
