Licensing and Clusters

We have already purchased and installed licensing on our servers.

Now we are looking to cluster our servers.

1. How does this affect licensing?

2. What additional steps need to be taken now to get Red-Gate application working seemlessly in a single-to-cluster environment?

Thanks

Hi,

1. You will need one SQL Backup Pro license per cluster node. If your existing license is Pro then you can use the same license key when you cluster your server.

2. SQL Backup Server Component installer (SQBServerSetup.exe) is cluster aware. So the easiest thing would be to uninstall the server components on the servers, then after you have clustered your environment then install the server components again. You must save your data store if you want to preserve the SQL Backup activity history when you uninstall the server components. This data store should ideally be placed on shared disk. Please read the help file for more information:

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Priya
