      How to: Apply Veeam Licensing

      Learn how to instantly generate Veeam licences in Hive and apply them to the Veeam console

      Probax provides low-cost Veeam subscription licences, which are licensed on a per-VM or per-physical machine basis.

      Veeam Licence Types

      Veeam Cloud Connect Backup / DR

      Cloud Connect licences are calculated automatically based on the number of VMs that are replicating to us and will be charged to your account accordingly.

      Veeam Agent for Windows / Linux

      Veeam Agents deployed from Veeam Backup and Replication Console need to be licensed inside Veeam Backup and Replication. The Veeam Agents will consume a licence from within Veeam Backup and Replication in order to run. For example, you will require 5 Veeam Agent licences in order to deploy 5 Veeam Agent jobs.

      Alternatively, Veeam Agent for Windows/Linux standalone clients can be licensed from the GUI, or through Probax Scout.

      Other Veeam Licence types

      Probax provides many different licence types, including Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Agent, Backup for Office 365 and Veeam ONE, plus more! Check out the full list in Hive.
