Notes: 

1. For licenses other than VMs, a certain number of free licenses are provided by default. Details about these licenses can be viewed on the Free Edition Policy page.

Step 2: Review Default Licenses

2. These can be shuffled across VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, oVirt, and Proxmox.

Step 3: Allot Licenses to the Server

1. Navigate to the 'Allot Licenses' page.
2. Select the eligible licenses and allot them to the respective server.
   

Step 4: Confirm License Allotment

1. Go to the 'Manage Virtual & Physical Entity Licenses' tab.
2. Verify the assigned licenses under the 'Available Licenses in Server' sub-tab.
   

Step 5: Run License Check

1. From the BDRSuite backup server, run the 'License Check' to assign the licenses.
2. The server should now be assigned with the free licenses.
   

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you can successfully customize and allocate free edition licenses to your BDRSuite backup server, ensuring they are properly assigned and confirmed.
