Managing Licensed Instances

After you add a Veeam Backup for Google Cloud appliance to the backup infrastructure, you can view the number of protected instances in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. You can also 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.

Monitoring Licensed Instances

To view protected instances, 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 instances.

• Cloud VMs — protected VM instances.
• Cloud Databases — protected Cloud SQL instances.

• Count — the number of instances.
• Multiplier — the number of license units one instance consumes.
• Instances — the total number of the consumed license units.

Revoking License Units

You can revoke license units from protected instances 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 instance and click Revoke. Veeam Backup & Replication will revoke a license unit from the selected instance.
