There are several benefits in using Probax as your Veeam licensing provider:

  • Self Provisioning in Probax Hive - Simply select the type of license you require and the number of VMs you need licensed. The LIC file is available for immediate download.
  • No Reporting Requirements - Save time by forgetting about the need to report your license usage. We'll do this on your behalf based on what you have provisioned in Probax Hive.
  • Heavily Discounted Pricing - We can beat any volume-based discount in the market when bundled with our data protection offerings.

How can you offer such competitive rates on Veeam licensing?

Probax provides Veeam licensing to its channel partners in Australia, USA and EMEA. Our global purchasing power allows us to offer extremely competitive pricing to our partners.

I'm already receiving better pricing from another provider. Can you beat it? 

Yes! For MSPs managing large volumes of customers, Probax can offer an even more competitive discounted rate based on the volume of licensing you require. Contact us to discuss how Probax can beat any volume-based discount in the market.

How do I provision and apply new licensing through Probax?

We have created a detailed knowledge base article that explains the necessary steps to provision and apply Veeam licensing.

How do I add or modify my Veeam Cloud Connect licenses?

Cloud Connect licences are calculated automatically based on the number of VMs that are being replicated to Probax.

Can you offer perpetual licenses?

No. Probax is a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) which means we can only offer VCSP rental licenses.

Are there any technical limitations with VCSP licenses?

No. They are the same license.

Will my partner status with Veeam be affected if I move my licences to Probax?

No. Your ProPartner status is based on revenue from new perpetual licenses sales and any VCSP licences you report on are under Veeam's separate VCSP program.

How will I be billed?

Probax will invoice you for all services monthly and in advance. Prior to your monthly invoice being raised, our billing system will cross reference the Veeam license quantities listed in Probax Hive.

Can I provision licences from Probax for customers that aren't backing up to the cloud or backing up to another provider? 

Yes. You'll need to create an account for your customer and then provision licences from there. 

I only need a Veeam license for a limited number of days. Do you offer pro-rata billing?

No. We are unable to offer pro-rata billing on software licensing.

Do you offer discounted StorageCraft Licensing?

No. Probax can no longer provide partners with ShadowProtect MSP licensing.
