Veeam Backup Agents License Usage Report

An example of a Veeam backup agents license usage report is provided below.

The report reflects the maximum number of Veeam backup agents managed in Veeam Availability Console for the previous month. It shows the number of workstation and server Veeam backup agents managed by each company, and the number of instances these Veeam backup agents consume. The report also reflects the number of Veeam backup agents removed when the report was adjusted.

The number of managed Veeam backup agents in the report does not include Veeam backup agents added during the previous month (New Veeam backup agents). For details on New Veeam backup agents, see Exceeding License Limit.

Veeam Backup & Replication License Usage Report

Veeam Availability Console collects license usage information from client Veeam Backup & Replication servers and generates license usage reports:

For Veeam Backup & Replication version 9.5 Update 3 or earlier, the report reflects the maximum number of VMs managed for each company in Veeam Availability Console for the previous month. Managed VMs are converted to instances in a one-to-one ratio.
For Veeam Backup & Replication version 9.5 Update 4 or later, the report reflects the number of used instances submitted in a license usage report on a managed Veeam Backup & Replication server.

An example of a Veeam Backup & Replication license usage report is provided below.

Viewing License Usage Reports Note:

The report includes information about VMs and Veeam backup agents managed by Veeam Backup & Replication servers with a per-instance license installed. Information about VMs managed by backup servers with per-socket licenses is not included in the report.
