SnapManager licensing

A SnapManager license and several storage system licenses are required to enable SnapManager operations. The SnapManager license is available in two licensing models: per-server licensing, in which the SnapManager license resides on each Exchange Server host, and per-storage system licensing, in which the SnapManager license resides on the storage system.
