Microsoft Entra ID Tenants
Product Overview
With Veeam Backup & Replication you can easily back up and restore Microsoft Entra ID tenant organizations. For more information, see the User Guide for Microsoft Entra ID.
Licensing
Microsoft Entra ID is licensed per user (sold in packs of 10 Users). The license file can be generated and assigned to the backup server installation using VCSP Pulse plug-in for Veeam Service Provider Console. Alternatively, a new license file can be generated on the VCSP Pulse Portal by adding the User workload type in the Manage Licenses > Request New License > Veeam Backup & Replication > Veeam Backup for Entra ID section.
Each workload under protection consumes the license at a rate in alignment with the VCSP Rental Point Per Unit (PPU).
Workload Type | Point Per Unit (PPU) |
|---|---|
Microsoft Entra ID Tenants (10 users pack) | 10 points |
Note |
Veeam Backup & Replication rounds the Microsoft Entra ID license usage down. For example, if you protect 157 users, the license usage will be rounded down to 15 packs of 10 users. |
Usage Reporting
A new license usage report is generated on the first day of each month. It includes the number of monitored workloads for the past month. Usage for these workloads can be tracked using the Microsoft Entra ID Tenants (10 users) counter name.
The primary and recommended method to collect usage reporting data is Veeam Service Provider Console, an automated and free tool for license management and reporting. To enable license usage reporting, connect Veeam Backup & Replication servers. Once done, license usage from all workloads managed by that server will be included into the monthly License Usage Report.
Alternatively, license usage can be obtained by one of the following ways:
Then, the overall usage must be submitted through VCSP Pulse Portal.
