Managing Licensed Instances

After you add a Veeam Backup for AWS appliance to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, you can monitor the number of protected EC2 and RDS instances in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. You can also revoke licenses from protected instances if you do not want to protect these instances.

Monitoring Licensed Instances

To monitor protected instances, do the following:

In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, expand the main menu and select License.
In the License Information window, switch to the Instances tab.

You will see the number of protected instances. Protected instances are named as Cloud VMs.

Revoking Licensed Instances

You can revoke licenses from protected instances and reapply them to other objects that you plan to protect. License revoking can be helpful, for example, if a licensed instance goes out of service or you do not want to protect it anymore.

To revoke a license, do the following:

From the main menu, select License.
In the License Information window, open the Instances tab and click Manage.

In the displayed window, select a protected instance and click Revoke. Veeam Backup & Replication will revoke the license from the selected object, and the license will be freed for other instances or hosts that you want to protect.
