Revoking License Units

By default, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure automatically revokes a license unit from a protected instance if no new restore points have been created by the backup policy during the past 31 days. However, you can manually revoke license units from protected instances — this can be helpful, for example, if you remove a number of instances from a backup policy and do not want to protect them anymore.
