Installing License
When you launch the Veeam Agent for Linux control panel for the first time, Veeam Agent for Linux offers you to install a license at the License step of the initial setup wizard. You can choose to install the license immediately or postpone this operation.
If you choose to postpone the license installation process, you can install a license later at any time you need. Until you install a license, Veeam Agent for Linux will operate in the Free edition. To learn more, see Product Editions.
|
If you choose not to install a license and use Veeam Agent for Linux in the Free edition, Veeam Agent for Linux will display a notification offering to install a license every time you open the control panel. The notification will appear in the control panel until Veeam Agent for Linux completes the first backup job session. |
