Installing and Removing License

In this article

By default, Veeam Backup for GCP 1.0 comes with a Free license. To unlock the full product functionality, you must install a Bring Your Own License.

Installing License

To install or update a license installed on the backup appliance, do the following:

Switch to the Configuration page.
Navigate to License > License Info.
Click Install license.
In the Upload File window, click Browse to browse to a license file, and then click Upload.

Removing BYOL License

To remove a BYOL license installed on the backup appliance if you no longer need it, do the following:

On the License Info tab, click Remove License.
In the Confirmation window, click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the license.

After you remove the license, Veeam Backup for GCP will automatically switch back to the Free edition. In this case, according to the FIFO (first-in first-out) queue, only the first 10 VM instances registered in the configuration database will remain protected. You can revoke license units from these VM instances as described in section Revoking License Units.
