Protection Manager 4.0 Question

demelo — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:15:59 GMT

Team, sorry to bother your b

usy day.

One of my customers just recently purchased lots of OM/PM licenses.

We are targeting to implement 4.0 at the customer site. Is Provisioning Manager **required** to run Protection Manager. It looks like some of the new features of protection Manager **requires** Provisioning Manager.

Could someone eduacte me on the Protection Manager features that *absolutely* require Provisioning Manager.

Thank You very much!!

Technically, no Protection Manager does not require a provisioning license.

However, that does not matter. As of 4.0, when you install the protection license, Provisioning Manager is automaticaly enabled.

If you want to take advantage of policy based provisioning for primary and secondary you will need provisioning manger license as these are features of provisioning manger.

But as pete said, as of 4.0 provisioning manger is autoenabled when protection manger license is installed.So you dont need separate license.
