Good Morning everybody,

since registering out license for 'Professional Server' the option for creating virtual tape devices is greyed out. The NexiTech iVTL license generator sill shows a valid 'power user' license.
The logfile of Starwind tells us that 'Plugin: Plugin 'VirtualTape.dll' is not registered!'
Reboot of Starwind server did not resolved the problem.

Is this a Starwind or a NexiTech relaed issue?

Best regards,
Florian

You did not purchase VTL add on. Professional does NOT have VTL embedded. Complete features matrix is here:

That's why it's not RDS or NexiTech. It's YOUR issue :)

Hello Anton,

sorry - my mistake :roll:. I didn't see a separate option when we placed our order.
Can this option be bought via Rocket Division or via NexiTech?

That's no problem! We'll make this one a bit more visible closer to the official release.

For now RDS does not sell VTL-enabled StarWind, only NexiTech does. So you may either go for VTL + StarWind from NexiTech or wait for a week or so for RDS release. Prices are IDENTICAL (we have a deal with NexiTech).

Thank you!

Hello Anton,

thanks for the quick (and late-time answer).
We're going to check with Don@NexiTech about the license.

Best regards and thanks for your help!
