Product Editions
Veeam Agent for Mac offers three product editions that define product functionality and operation modes:
- Server — a commercial edition that provides access to all product functions and is intended for performing data protection tasks on computers that run macOS. Veeam Agent can operate in the Server edition if a commercial license that supports this edition is installed on the protected computer.
- Workstation — a commercial edition that offers limited capabilities that are sufficient for performing data protection tasks on computers that run macOS. Veeam Agent can operate in the Workstation edition if a commercial license that supports this edition is installed on the protected computer.
- Free — a free edition that offers the capabilities of the Workstation edition with certain limitations. Free edition does not come with a commercial support program. In contrast to the Workstation and Server editions, the Free edition does not require a license.
Note |
After the license expires, Veeam Agent automatically switches to the Free edition. If Veeam Agent operated in the Server or Workstation edition and multiple backup jobs were configured, after switching to the Free edition, all backup jobs will be failing. You will have to configure a new backup job to protect the computer. |
