Alternatively, you can right-click the necessary server and choose one of the available options.

After you choose the license file, Veeam Service Provider Console will display the result of the license installation in the License Update Status column.

Note:

To install license on a Veeam Backup & Replication server managed by Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, use the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager console. For details, see section Viewing and Changing Current License of the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager User Guide.

It is not recommended to install one VCSP Pulse license in multiple products. If you have selected a license key that is already installed in another product and your service provider has enabled license management for your company, Veeam Service Provider Console will ask you to copy the license key. If you do not want to copy the license key, you can download the license file and install it manually. Note that in license usage report Veeam Service Provider Console will add up points usage for all servers with the same license ID.
