Licenses in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager

If backup servers are connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager collects information about all licenses installed on backup servers. When Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager replicates databases from backup servers, it also synchronizes license data: checks if the license installed on the backup server coincides with the license installed on the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server. If the licenses do not coincide, the license on the backup server is automatically replaced with the license installed on the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server.
