Overview

Retrospect Virtual is licensed differently from Retrospect Backup. Instead of individual license keys for each component, Retrospect Virtual has a single set license credentials–a name and a key–that enables specific components.

The licensing page for Retrospect Virtual is accessible from the home screen under "License". There are two components to a Retrospect Virtual license:

  • Licensee Name

  • License Key
