Before you deploy Data Protection Manager (DPM), you need to purchase an agent license for each file server that you plan to protect. During setup, you specify the number of agent licenses that you purchased so that DPM can help you to stay compliant with your license agreements. DPM automatically tracks the number of licenses that are deployed and the number of licenses that are still unused.

If you purchase additional agent licenses after you set up DPM or re-allocate licenses from one DPM server to another, you can update the number of available agent licenses for each DPM server.

To update the number of agent licenses

  1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Management on the navigation bar, and then click the Agents tab.

  2. On the Actions pane, click Update agent licenses.

  3. In the Update Agent Licenses dialog box, type the total number of DPM File Agent licenses that you have purchased for use with this DPM server.

  4. Click OK.
