License Re-Activation Policies

BackupEDGE Re-Activation Policies

Under most circumstances, including product updates and RecoverEDGE bare metal disaster recovery, it is never necessary to re-activate a BackupEDGE license.

Should the situation arise, you may generally re-activate a BackupEDGE license using the original BackupEDGE version and your original activation form and key, on the operating system version where it was originally activated. If you do not have this form please check with your reseller as many resellers retain this information on your behalf.

Please review the information below to determine re-activation eligibility, requirements and fees.

If needed, please download the re-activation order form HERE.
