Managing Licensed Workloads
After you add a Veeam Backup for AWS appliance to the backup infrastructure, you can view the number of protected workloads in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. You can also revoke license units from protected workloads — this can be helpful, for example, if you remove a number of workloads from a backup policy and do not want to protect them anymore.
Monitoring Licensed Workloads
To view protected workloads, do the following:
- In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the main menu and select License.
- In the License Information window, switch to the Instances tab.
The Instances tab displays the following information:
- Type — the type of protected workloads.
- Cloud VMs — protected EC2 instances.
- Cloud Databases — protected RDS resources including Aurora DB clusters.
- Cloud File Shares — protected EFS file systems.
- Count — the number of workloads.
- Multiplier — the number of license units one workload consumes.
- Instances — the total number of the consumed license units.
Revoking License Units
You can revoke license units from protected workloads and reapply them to other objects that you plan to protect:
- In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the main menu and select License.
- In the License Information window, switch to the Instances tab and click Manage.
- In the Licensed Instances window, select a protected workload and click Revoke. Veeam Backup & Replication will revoke a license unit from the selected workload.
