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 servers that run macOS.
  • Workstation — a commercial edition that offers limited capabilities that are sufficient for performing data protection tasks on desktop computers and laptops that run macOS.
  • Free — a free edition that offers the same capabilities as the Workstation edition but does not come with a commercial support program. In contrast to the workstation and server editions, the Free edition does not require a license.

After the license expires, Veeam Agent for Mac automatically switches to the Free edition. To learn more, see License Expiration.
