This because, after upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4, you must obtain and install on the backup server a new per-instance license.

Seems good, but during the transition it can cause some issues.Īlso if not listed in the Top issues tracker, during the upgrade to Veeam B&R 9.5 U4, if you have several type of licenses (B&R and different agents) you can have some trouble. Instead of having separate license files for Veeam Agents for Windows and for Linux, with separate server and workstation counters inside, now VIL provides a single license file that is portable across all Veeam products managed by Veeam Backup & Replication, with the shared Instances counter covering all workload types. VIL will addresses the “license sprawl” issue, where every new Veeam product had its own license file, often with multiple workload-specific counters inside. The introduction of VIL does not change anything in the bigger picture of our subscription licensing. Historically Veeam Backup & Replication was licensed based on socket numbers (physical socket of the protected hypervisors)… but with the introduction of the physical agents and other new products there are other license models.įor example, one year ago, Veeam introduced a per VM license in Veeam products, but still there was a different license for different products and also some limitations, like the need of a single type of license (and also a single type of edition) for each product. One big change in the new Veeam Availability 9.5 Update 4 is the new licensing mode called Veeam Instance Licensing (VIL). This post is also available in: Italian Reading Time: 3 minutes
