Limitations for Veeam Backup & Replication Licensed by Sockets

If you use Veeam Backup & Replication with a Perpetual per-socket license and you want to connect a Veeam Backup for AWS appliance to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, you must install an additional Perpetual per-instance license or a subscription license. When you install an additional license, the new license merges with the existing Perpetual per-socket license. For details on the merging process, see the Merging Licenses section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

If you do not install an additional Perpetual per-instance license or a subscription license, Veeam Backup & Replication will allow you to protect only 7 EC2 instances. After you exceed the limit of free 7 instances, Veeam Backup for AWS backup policies start to fail. Protected EC2 instances will not consume socket units.

To obtain an additional license, contact a Veeam sales representative at Sales Inquiry.
