Just a quick entry to let everyone know that NetWorker 7.6 is now available. You can obtain the software and user guides on Powerlink. More details area available here on the external NetWorker Online Social Community page:
https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-4987
Same licenses as before - so your NMDA will be kind of upgrade/replacement. Starting of 7.6 you have Linxu/Windows and UNIX type licenses (EMC merged Linux and Windows).
All - thanks for the comments and answers. Thought I'd cap it off wrt the NDMA question by posting the FAQ we used internally for the licensing details:
Question: My customer wants to upgrade from a legacy app module license to the NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications (NMDA). Do they have to buy new NMDA licenses?
Answer: No. for customers with an active maintenance contract, upgrade to the NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications is free. Existing NetWorker Module for DB2, NetWorker Module for Informix, NetWorker Module for Lotus Notes, NetWorker Module for Oracle, and NetWorker Module for Sybase license enablers will enable the NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications on the equivalent operating system type (after uninstalling the legacy module and installing NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications) . For example, a Windows NetWorker Module for DB2 license will enable NMDA on Windows but not on UNIX; a UNIX NetWorker Module for Informix license will enable NMDA on UNIX but not on Windows or Linux, etc.

Thanks for the hint.
Should the new NetWorker Module for Databases be available already?
