Answer / Solution

You always need a SpaceObServer (Enterprise or DataCentral) license as base. This license includes the SpaceObServer user interface for reporting and the SpaceObServer scan service which executes the scans and archives the file system information into a database.

The SpaceObServer Client Access only includes the SpaceObServer user interface only, without the scan service. You can install SpaceObServer Client Access on additional machines in your network to generate reports for scanned directory trees, by accessing the data stored in the backend database. You can also use the SpaceObServer Client Access for remote administration of scans.

Each instance/installation of SpaceObServer Client Access need to be covered by one SpaceObServer Client Access license.
