Backup Exec 20 subscription is easy to license. Backup Exec subscription is available in three Editions:  Bronze, Silver, and Gold, offering choices for the levels of protection and functionality available to meet backup requirements.

The Backup Exec 20 subscription licensing allows customers to license this product annually, reducing the amount customers must invest upfront on their Backup Exec licenses. During the subscription term, customers can install product updates and receive technical support. Subscription licenses allow the user to always have the up to date version and receive technical support during the time of the subscription.

With the Bronze, Silver and Gold Editions, customers get unlimited deployment of the included Backup Exec server, options, and agents included in the bundle. Instead of choosing a complicated combination of licenses, customers simply choose the edition best suited for them and license Backup Exec 20 per “front end terabyte” of data that they need to backup. Front-end terabyte is defined as the size of the protected uncompressed data (i.e., data that has not been de-duplicated).  Customers may purchase licenses for as many terabytes as they need based on the amount of data that needs to be protected.

Licenses are available starting at 1TB, and tier discounts are available the higher the data volumes purchased. Customers can also allocate their front end terabytes among multiple servers, which do not have to be centrally managed.
