Viewing License Information

After you add a backup appliance to the backup infrastructure, you can view the number of protected workloads in the Veeam Backup & Replication console.

Viewing License Details Using Veeam Backup & Replication Console

Viewing License Details Using Veeam Backup for AWS Web UI

To view details on the license that is currently installed on the backup appliance in the Veeam Backup for AWS Web UI, do the following:

  1. Switch to the Configuration page.
  2. Navigate to Licensing > License Info.

The licensing section provides general information on the Veeam Backup for AWS license:

  • Status — the license status. The status depends on the license edition, the number of days remaining until license expiration and the number of days remaining in the grace period (if any).
  • License Type — the license edition (Free, Managed).
  • Instances — the total number of license units included in the license file and the number of units consumed by protected resources.

Each instance that has a restore point created in the past 31 days is considered to be protected and consumes 1 license unit. To view the list of instances that consume license units, switch to the License Usage tab.

Important

Starting from Veeam Backup for AWS version 9, installing licenses is not supported for backup appliances that are not managed by any Veeam Backup & Replication servers. As a workaround, install AWS Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication on a backup server and add the appliance to the backup infrastructure.
