Veeam VMware Collector: Licensed socket count exceeded

Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.EMServer.Monitor.LicenseExceeded (UnitMonitor)

Licensed socket count monitor

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor tracks the status of the Veeam license installed on the Veeam Extensions server. This license is defined as the total number of CPU sockets on physical vSphere hosts that are monitored by Veeam Collectors.

Causes

The number of vSphere CPU sockets defined in the license has been exceeded. More vSphere hosts are configured for monitoring (in the Veeam Extensions UI) than are allowed by the license.

Resolutions

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

Alternatively, un-check some hosts in the Veeam Extensions UI, which will remove them from the monitoring scope and also from the license count. Note that the unchecked hosts and all the VMs which run on those unchecked hosts will be removed from Veeam MP for VMware views in Ops Mgr. Historical data will remain in reports but no new data will be gathered.
