Veeam® Data Platform offers several options packaged to deliver relentless security, plus fast,
reliable recovery and complete data freedom. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re
managing an enterprise operation, Veeam has a flexible option for you. Veeam Universal License
(VUL) is a game-changing portable license that allows you the flexibility to protect cloud,
virtual and physical workloads interchangeably no matter where you are on your hybrid journey.
The extremely capable backup, monitoring and recovery features of Veeam Data Platform are
ready to keep your business running.

Licensing details
The fully featured, portable VUL license is the best option for any environment, whether it be
on-premises or in hybrid- or multi-cloud deployments, including full-feature capabilities for all
workload types. These workload types include VMware, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Windows and
much more. This document will outline the features available by license type, including previously
offered socket based licensing.

VUL is required for many features, so it is always recommended that you migrate your licenses to VUL
for full capability. A VUL is always required for NAS, all physical agents, Nutanix AHV virtual machines
(VMs), cloud-native workloads and more.
Workloads VUL Per-socket
Environments On-premises, cloud and hybrid On-premises only
VMs: VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV VMware and Hyper-V only
and Red Hat Virtualization
ENHANCED physical servers, workstations and —
endpoints: Windows, Linux, MacOS, Oracle
Solaris and IBM AIX
ENHANCED Enterprise applications for —
Microsoft, Oracle, SAP HANA and more
ENHANCED Cloud-native backup and recovery —
for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud
ENHANCED NAS File Shares —

Licensing considerations
VUL with a socket-based license

If you still use a socket-based license, we strongly recommend you talk to your sales
representative about migrating to VUL for the ultimate capability and flexibility. In 2023,
migrations are at the lowest price point ever and are available at the price of your socket
renewal, even with all the additional features and workload support that’s included with VUL.
Now is the time to migrate, and the process is easier than ever. If you must continue using
sockets, please be aware of the following limitations, which have been in place since 2019:

• 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 for the entire environment.

• Example: Combing a Standard legacy socket license with VUL will restrict certain platform
capabilities like Scale-out Backup Repository™ (SOBR).
• If a feature isn’t available with a socket license — like cloud backups — will it be available when
a VUL is merged with socket licenses?

• In the presence of a socket license, all VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V VMs must consume
a socket license. You cannot use VULs to protect some of your VMware and Hyper-V VMs and
sockets to protect others.

• Nutanix AHV and Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) always requires VUL. Migrating socket
licenses to VUL gives you the freedom to protect all your 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 as long the protection is
managed by the same backup server. For example, protecting a Windows failover cluster
based on VMware VMs with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows does not consume
an additional VUL license for the agent.

Licenses for Veeam Cloud & Managed Service

Providers (VCSPs)
VCSP Rental licenses function in a similar way to subscription licenses, but uses a point-based
system with point consumption that depends on capability levels. For more information, please
refer to your VCSP licensing documentation or speak with your service provider.

Service Providers can access the VCSP Feature Comparison guide on ProPartner Portal.
