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:

1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the main menu and select License.
2. 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:

1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the main menu and select License.
2. In the License Information window, switch to the Instances tab and click Manage.

3. In the Licensed Instances window, select a protected workload and click Revoke. Veeam Backup & Replication will revoke a license unit from the selected workload.
