Zoltan, SPP is included in the Spectrum Protect Suite since version 8.1.4 Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 Suites include entitlement for Spectrum Protect Plus. Spectrum Protect Plus is measured on a per Managed Virtual Server, or virtual machine (VM), metric. 1 TB of Spectrum Protect Suite or Spectrum Protect Suite Entry entitles a customer to protect 10 VMs with Spectrum Protect Plus. 1 TB of Spectrum Protect Suite - Front End or Spectrum Protect Suite Entry - Front End entitles a customer to protect 15 VMs with Spectrum Protect Plus. When consuming Spectrum Protect Plus through Spectrum Protect Suite licensing, offload of data from Spectrum Protect Plus to Spectrum Protect Server is included in Spectrum Protect Plus entitlement. In this case, the capacity of the data offloaded is not required to be measured nor does it require additional capacity entitlement. Please have a look a the announcement.https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi /ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/2/897/ENUS217- 552/index.html&lang=en&request_locale=en On Thu, 2018-03-15 at 08:51 -0400, Zoltan Forray wrote: > Back a while ago, I could never get ahold of my IBM representative to > ask > questions about licensing so I am taking a shot here. > > Per Passport, we license IBM Spectrum Protect Extended Edition and > IBM > Spectrum Protect Suite. > > When going through the Passport software download list, it includes > Spectrum Protect Plus.
