NEXSAN Retrospect Virtual 2026 Competitive Upgrade License

Protect VMware virtual environments with the Retrospect Virtual 2026 competitive upgrade entitlement. AHS26U1VC licenses the Retrospect Virtual 2026 product for a host-server deployment and is positioned for environments using VMware ESX or vCenter. It provides a migration path for organizations replacing an eligible competing data-protection product rather than starting with a standard new-license purchase. Retrospect Virtual addresses backup and recovery operations for virtual-machine environments. Its host-server licensing designation matters when aligning protection software with the VMware infrastructure being protected: the entitlement is associated with the virtualization host-server deployment rather than an individual endpoint device. Use it where Retrospect Virtual is being introduced into an ESX or vCenter-managed estate under competitive-upgrade eligibility. This specific entitlement is differentiated by three identifiers: it is for the Retrospect Virtual product family, the 2026 release, and the competitive upgrade licensing route. It is not described as physical media, an appliance, or a general-purpose server operating system. Retain the AHS26U1VC ordering code when validating the required Retrospect Virtual edition, release, competitive-upgrade qualification, and host-server licensing scope for the intended VMware environment.
