SQL Backup Pro comprises two main parts:

• The SQL Backup Pro graphical user interface (GUI) for setting up and monitoring your backup and restore jobs. The GUI is not licensed and can be installed on as many computers as you wish. You can install only one version of the SQL Backup Pro GUI on each computer.
  To check which version of the graphical user interface is installed, from the Help menu select About SQL Backup.
• The SQL Backup Pro server components installed on each SQL Server instance (or on each node of a clustered instance). This is the licensed part of SQL Backup Pro and contains the SQL Backup Pro extended stored procedures and the SQL Backup Agent service. You can install only one version of the SQL Backup Pro server components on each SQL Server instance.
  To check which version of the server components is installed, in the SQL Backup Pro GUI select the SQL Server, then from the Edit menu select Properties.
