Submitting License Usage
To manage licenses, usage reports, and customer onboarding for SaaS licensed workloads, Veeam uses VCSP Pulse — an end-to-end license and usage reporting management platform that offers a collaboration hub between Veeam, Aggregators, and VCSP partners. VCSP Pulse is a part of ProPartner portal. Access to the platform is granted after a VCSP partner signs a rental agreement with a Veeam Aggregator.
For service providers who offer services through Veeam Data Cloud, VCSP Pulse facilitates initial onboarding to Veeam Data Cloud and monthly usage reporting. Monthly usage reporting from Veeam Data Cloud to VCSP Pulse is populated automatically. The report contains the SaaS license usage and the number of consumed SaaS points.
For SaaS rental licenses, service providers report the number of SaaS licensed workloads to VCSP Pulse. The report also contains the SaaS license information and the number of processed workloads. Detailed Tenant reports are also available in VCSP Pulse.
For more information about license usage reporting, see Licensing and Usage Reporting for Veeam Data Cloud.
Submitting License Usage in VCSP Pulse
VCSP Pulse automatically collects and populates the SaaS license usage from Veeam Data Cloud. This reduces the time spent on the preparation of the monthly license usage report.
Information about the SaaS license usage will appear in the Monthly Usages > My Actions section under the SaaS column.
To submit the monthly usage, perform the following steps:
- Open VCSP Pulse Portal and click Monthly Usages > My Actions.
- In the SaaS column, check the product and the number of workloads.
- Click Submit Usage.
Note |
In case of issues related to the SaaS license usage, contact Veeam Customer Support. |
Consider the following:
- If you do not use Site Reporting, a monthly usage report can be submitted to the Aggregator by any user with the Full Access role.
- If you use Site Reporting:
- Each site must be submitted by the location usage administrator to the primary license administrator.
- A monthly usage report can be submitted to the Aggregator only by a primary license administrator of the rental agreement when they get all site usage reports from location usage administrators.
