If your backup appliance is connected to a standalone Veeam Backup & Replication server, you can manage the license only using the Veeam Backup & Replication console. For more information, see Integration with Veeam Backup & Replication Guide. |
Removing License
To remove a license installed on the backup appliance if you no longer need it, do the following:

After you remove a license, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will automatically switch back to the Free edition.

You can revoke license units from these instances as described in section Revoking License Units.

If your backup appliance is connected to a standalone Veeam Backup & Replication server and has the BYOL edition installed, you can remove the license and switch to the Free edition only using the Veeam Backup & Replication console. |
