Licensing considerations Licenses for Veeam cloud and

Veeam Universal License (VUL) alongside a Socket-based License. managed service providers (VCSP)
If you still use a socket-based license, we strongly recommend you talk to your sales representative VCSP Rental licenses function in a similar way to subscription
about migrating it to VUL for the ultimate capability and flexibility. In 2023, the migrations are licenses, but uses a point-based system with point consumption
at the lowest price point ever and available at the price of your socket renewal even with all of that depends on capability levels. For more information, please
the additional features and workload support within VUL. Now is the time to migrate, and it’s easier refer to your VCSP licensing documentation or speak with
than ever. If you must continue using sockets, please be aware of the following limitations, which your service provider. Service Providers can access the VCSP
have been in place since 2019: Feature Comparison guide on ProPartner Portal.
• When combining VUL with a socket-based license in a merged and centrally managed
environment, the socket edition and support level always takes precedence and dictates
the feature edition level of the entire environment.
Example: Combining a Standard legacy socket license with VUL will restrict certain platform
capabilities like the Scale-out Backup Repository.
• If a feature isn’t available with a socket license, like cloud backups for example, it will be
available when a VUL is merged with socket licenses?
• In the presence of a socket license, all VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VMs
must consume a socket license. You cannot use VUL to protect some of your VMware
and Hyper-V VMs and Sockets to protect others.
• Nutanix AHV and Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) always requires the VUL license. Migrating
socket licenses to VUL gives the freedom to protect all workloads regardless of hypervisor,
OS, workload or environment.

• VMs on hypervisor hosts that are licensed with a socket license can now be protected with
any Veeam product without needing an additional VUL license, so long as the protection is
managed by the same backup server. For example, protecting a Windows failover cluster based
on vSphere VMs with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows does not additionally consume
a VUL license for the agent.
