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.

Product Editions Note

After the license expires, Veeam Agent for Mac automatically switches to the Free edition. If Veeam Agent for Mac 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.
