Recoverpoint For VMs

What about Free license ?

Hi there,

All features are available, per-VM or per-socket license provides official Dell EMC support.

Hope that helps,

Idan

All features are available when unlicensed or licensed. The difference is that there is official Dell EMC license when the product is licensed.

Hi, I hope you are doing well; unlicensed RP4VM seems limited for 45 days; is it true? Another point is service reliability; in an unlicensed environment, service is down and up without any reason.

Hello Masoud koo,

When deploying a RecoverPoint for VMs cluster, it works in Try and Buy mode until a license is installed. Which version of RP4VM are you using?

Thank you for replying; I've installed 5.2; as you said, there is a limitation of using an unlicensed node?

Also, on the RP4VM panel is wrote" the trial version, and not for production use"

Hello Masoud koo,

There is not any limitation when using the try & buy, except that it is in trial mode until it is licensed.  When using the try & buy that is correct that it is not for production use.  If you are wanting to use it for production, then you will need to purchase a license and apply it. 

Thanks a million, but I'm confused; actually, I've installed the version which writes in "trial mode and non for production" is it trial mode? If your answer is yes, is there any limitation?  buying the license is mandatory?

(because my service without any intervention experience up and down.)

thank you in advance

thank you, sir, for the last question, is there any time limitation? because when I study Licenses agreement that there point to 45 days.

1.1 License Grant - This Agreement grants Customer a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited right to use one copy of the software program available for download at this site (the "Software") in object code form on up to five Customer servers at a Customer location for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days from the Effective Date (the "License Term"), for the sole purpose of evaluating the Software for purchase of a production version thereof unless otherwise approved in writing by EMC. This version of the Software may only be used in a non-production environment. The term "Software" shall also include any related documentation and other material or information provided by EMC. This special trial/evaluation version of the Software may contain computer code that further restricts the use of the Software to certain limited capacity environments. Customer shall make no use thereof except as expressly permitted hereunder.

Hello Masoud koo,

You will be using trial mode until a license is applied.  All features are available when unlicensed.  When you license recoverypoint you will have a DellEMC license. With service being up & down it is hard to say what is causing that issue without looking at your system.

Hello Masoud koo,

As it is trial you do have a limited time to use it which is 45 days.  That is also why we state that it is not for production use as if the time runs out & you don’t purchase a license then there might be issues with using the software.

Hi @Masoud koo 

For using RP4VMs in production, licensing is indeed required (either per-VM or per-socket) which would also grant official Dell support for any issue you might have. Reach out to your Dell account team...

For unlicensed, do we have any time limitation? As I studied the license agreement, there is a point of 45 days that is a limitation of using.

I hope you are doing well; unlicensed RP4VM seems limited for 45 days; is it true? 

Hello feedtaletwo,

That is correct that it is limited to 45 days.  Now if you are going to use it for production then you will need to get a license in order to do so.
