Submitting License Usage Report

If your service provider uses a Rental license for Veeam Service Provider Console, you must submit a license usage report to Veeam every month. The license usage report shows the maximum number of workloads that were managed in Veeam Service Provider Console within the previous calendar month.

How License Usage Reporting Works

On the first day of the new month, Veeam Service Provider Console generates a single license usage report based on the maximum number of managed Veeam backup agents for the previous month. For Veeam Backup & Replication version 10 Update 1 or later, Veeam ONE and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, Veeam Service Provider Console also collects the number of workloads stored in the cloud and managed workloads for separate companies.

Veeam Service Provider Console informs you about the generated report with a notification that is displayed when you access Veeam Service Provider Console as a Service Provider Global Administrator or Service Provider Administrator. You can review the report in Veeam Service Provider Console, adjust it if necessary, approve and send it to Veeam. For details, see How to Submit License Usage Report.

If you do not want to adjust and approve license usage data manually, you can instruct Veeam Service Provider Console to approve and send reports automatically as soon as license usage data is collected. For details, see Enabling Automatic Report Approval.

  1. Log in to Veeam Service Provider Console.
