Updating License Manually

One central data center with Hyper-V-Cluster and VEEAM-Backup-Server (physical), license is created for license-owner Alpha, VEEAM-Account Alpha - At the moment one additional branch with single Hyper-V-Host, license is created for license-owner Bravo, VEEAM-Account Bravo, several branches could be opened anytime. Change from a higher product tier to a lower product tier, if applicable. A penalty or fee may be charged for downgrading. These are only offered for perpetual licenses. For instance, if a Customer is on a socket-based perpetual Veeam Backup & Replication license and downgrading to Veeam Backup Essentials license, a downgrade SKU is required. Oct 28, 2012 To ensure compliance, we recommend that you use Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, which provides centralized license management. Enterprise Manager reports actual socket usage across all backup servers, and can be used to apply the new v7 license file to all connected backup servers.

You can update the license manually on demand. When you update the license manually, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager connects to the Veeam License Update Server, downloads a new license from it (if the license is available) and installs it.

Updating License Automatically

You can instruct Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to schedule automatic connection with Veeam License Update Server and periodically send requests for a new license. When the automatic update is enabled, Enterprise Manager requests a new license weekly, and 7 days before current license expiration date — daily.

File

To enable automatic update:

  1. Sign in to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager using an account with the Portal Administrator role.
  2. To open the Configuration view, click Configuration in the top right corner.
  3. In the Configuration view, open the Licensing section.
  4. In the Summarytab, click Details.
  5. In the Details window, select the Update license key automatically check box.

Note:

If this option is enabled in Enterprise Manager (even if deactivated in the Veeam backup console), automatic update will be performed anyway: Enterprise Manager will obtain a new key from Veeam licensing server and propagate it to all managed Veeam backup servers.

For information on license management in Veeam Backup and Replication, see the Licensing section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

For information on license management for Veeam Cloud Connect Server Providers, see the Licensing for Service Providers section of the Veeam Cloud Connect Guide.

Grace Period

Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager supports a grace period after the license expiration date. For subscription license, it lasts for 30 days, for rental license — 2 months. During this period the product will be running, but a warning about license expiration (grace period) will appear in the main window and in the sessions information.

You must update your license before the end of the grace period.
