vmPRO Licensing
Quantum vmPRO User’s Guide 15
ExceedingLicenseCapacity
If you exceed your license capacity, the vmPRO GUI displays a warning banner. The vmPRO appliance
continues to back up and restore data, but the warning banner remains until you increase your license
capacity. Contact your Quantum sales representative to purchase additional capacity-based licenses, and
then add the license(s) to your vmPRO appliance.

Target-Based License
A target-based license has no capacity limit or calculation, but is limited to using just a single Network
Attached Storage (NAS) device as a target in backup policies.
Target-based licenses are available to customers who purchase a Quantum vmPRO 4000 product bundle
or customers of the Quantum Service Provider program. If you qualify for a target-based license, you can
retrieve it from the Web site where you received your initial contact email. You need to manually add your
license to your vmPRO appliance.
Calculating Capacity Requirements for vmPRO Licensing
To better estimate your vmPRO appliance's capacity needs, we recommend calculating your capacity
requirements using the vSphere Client or Web Client, a Windows or Linux operating system (OS), or the
vmPRO GUI versions 3.1 and newer.
Note:If you have configured your vmPRO to support UploadareporttoQuantumsupportsite
everyday (see Configuring Reports, Alerts, and Autosupport for a vmPRO Appliance), Quantum can
tell you what capacity you are currently using.
Calculate your capacity needs using the vSphere Client
1. Open your vSphere Client.
2. In the left pane, select a virtual machine (VM) to be backed up by the vmPRO appliance, and then click
the Summary tab in the right pane.
