* A Management License (ML) will need to be assigned to a device for each OSE on that device which is managed by Data Protection Manager 2007, except for OSEs on devices functioning only as network infrastructure devices (OSI layer 3 or below). A device can be a single server, single personal computer, workstation, terminal, handheld computer, pager, telephone, personal digital assistant, or other electronic device. An OSE is all or part of an operating system instance, or all or part of a virtual (or otherwise emulated) operating system instance which enables separate machine identity (primary computer name or similar unique identifier) or separate administrative rights, and instances of applications, if any, configured to run on the operating system instance or parts identified above. There are two types of OSEs physical and virtual. A physical OSE in configured to run directly on a physical hardware system. A virtual OSE is configured to run on a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system. A physical hardware system can have either or both of the following: (1) one physical OSE and (2) one or more virtual OSEs.
