Step 7. Configure Usage Reporting

At the Usage Reporting step of the wizard, configure license usage reporting settings:

• If you want Veeam Service Provider Console to automatically check for managed Veeam products updates, select the Allow Veeam Service Provider Console to check for Veeam product updates check box. When a new product build is published on the Veeam update server, a notification is displayed in Veeam Service Provider Console.
• To install new licenses automatically when you renew or expand your contract, select the Update license automatically (enables usage reporting) check box. If you enable the automatic license update, and therefore enable usage reporting, you double the number of workloads by which you can exceed your installed license. For details, see section Exceeding License Limit of the Guide for Service Providers.

If the automatic license update is enabled, Veeam Service Provider Console automatically sends license usage statistics to the Veeam License Update Server. For details, see section Automatic Usage Reporting of the Guide for Service Providers.

For Evaluation and NFR licenses, automatic license update must be enabled. For details on license types, see section License Types of the Guide for Service Providers.
