Running Free and Standard Editions

[seankeenaghan]

This is a long shot but worth a try...

We have 2 Physical servers which we have purchased the Standard licence for. These servers run all our critical and production VMs. We also have 5 old servers which run some VMs which we need to keep but arent critical or used everyday. As budget is pretty tight we definitely wont be buying 5 more licences but I would like to keep them backed up semi-regularly. The Free version covers our needs there.
I am just wondering if there is any way to run the Free version and Standard on the same machine? Or would I have to have the free version installed on a different machine? Seems like a long shot but thought I would ask anyway!

Cheers,

It should be two separate machines (backup servers), cause you cannot combine different license keys into one.

And just so you know - starting from version 8 Update 2 there is a way to schedule backups in VB&R free edition. So, take a look; might be useful. Thanks.
