You have to purchase licenses for new box

If you have purchased licenses based on traditional license model.
Otherwise, if you have capacity based license, you don't have to unless amount of data backed up exceeds terabytes allowed by your license.

You have to purchase

License is needed for clusrer nodes altough those are inactive or standby state unless the node is deployed in cold DR site. Nodes in Cold DR site is subject of Cold DR license policy which allows users to use one additional copy of license.
Otherwise, if you deployed standby nodes in same site, I believe these nodes are not subject of Cold DR license policy.

That's simple

You have to purchase additional license for new additional node if new node resides in site same with exsiting nodes.
License policy for cluster nodes is detailed on license guide which is provided for parters onParterNet.
You are 'accredited' user, you have access to PartNet. Check it.

NBU license could be based

NBU license could be based on

  • number of host
  • traffic flow (lan or san)
  • processor could be considered as well

Netbackup License.

 

Each License is limited to Certain number of Master, Media and Client Server.

And Capacity based License is also available based on the data you backup.
