Veeam Backup: License Alert

Summary

This monitor tracks the status of the Veeam license installed on the Veeam Backup & Replication server. This license is defined as the total number of CPU sockets on physical vSphere and Hyper-V hosts that are backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication.

Causes

The license will expire soon. The MP for Veeam Backup & Replication will issue regular warnings as a countdown as soon as the expiry date approaches. When the license expires, all backup and replication jobs will be disabled.

Veeam Backup & Replication could provide a grace period after the license expiration date, and during that period you might perform all types of data protection and disaster recovery operations. However, keep in mind that the duration of the grace period is limited and defined by the type of your license, so make sure to contact Veeam Sales and update the license before the end of the grace period.

Resolutions

Contact your Veeam partner or sales representative to obtain an updated license file.
