Limitations

Keep in mind the following limitations and considerations:

• If you use the Veeam Cloud Connect service provider license, the Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication functionality is available only from Veeam Service Provider Console. For more information, see the Veeam Service Provider Console Guide for Service Providers.
• If you use a Perpetual per-socket license installed on the backup server, and you want to connect a Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance to the backup infrastructure, you must install an additional Perpetual per-instance license or a subscription license. When you install an additional license, the new license merged with the existing Perpetual per-socket license. For details on the merging process, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Merging Licenses.

If you do not install an additional Perpetual per-instance license or a subscription license, you will be able to use one free license instance per each socket (maximum 6 free instances per instance). After you exceed the limit of free instances, Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication backup policies protecting resources that are not covered by the license will fail.

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