This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hallo everbody,

I have some questions about the licencing of GSS 2.5.
I am programming on an recover solution for our company and it is planed to use ghost32.exe which is included in the GSS. The customer should only get the ghostoem32.exe. So he is only allowed to recover the image and not to create one. Do I need for each customer a licence of GSS when he only needs the ghostoem32.exe. If so, is there a cheaper way to buy only the ghost32.exe and the ghostoem32.exe.
All other functions of the GSS package wont be used.

Thanks for help.

licensing

Hello,

Typically a unique license is needed for every machine that Ghost will be used on. I have not personally heard of different licensing options, but a call to our Licensing Department is not a bad idea. You can reach them at 1-888-727-8671. I certainly hope there is an optio they can offer.

Thank you,

Randy

VAR Kit licenses are purchased separately

We include the OEM version of Ghost  on the regular GSS media simply to save the complexity of having multiple SKUs (prior to GSS1.1 it was separate item called the "OEM kit"). However, it still requires that it be licensed, and there is a special license type for this - these are now called VAR licenses, and this is the kind of license you need to discuss with Enterprise sales.

Specificially, the thing you should ask for is a "Symantec Ghost Solution Suite VAR license". Because many of the contracts involving these kinds of licenses are very large and other subtleties of the VAR process, the VAR licenses are not purchasable online as regular GSS client licenses are. Anyone interested in using these tools needs to contact Enterprise Sales to arrange this and discuss the specifics of the VAR license terms.
