Step 6. Check License Usage

Veeam Service Provider Console allows you to monitor the number of license instances consumed by reseller clients. Every month Veeam Service Provider Console generates license usage reports that includes agents that were activated during the previous month. Agent is automatically activated the next month from discovery which means that it appears in the report generated for the month after next. To perform this step of the scenario, you will set date on the machine that runs Veeam Service Provider Console to 2 months from the day when you connected agent workstations and Veeam Backup & Replication server for previous scenarios. For example, if you finished discovering agents on January 15th, change the date to March 15th.
