Veeam B&R 9, upgrade path from free to paid ?

[Fatboy40]

Where I currently work uses Microsoft DPM as its backup solution and I wish to move everything to Veeam (we have a mixed Hyper-V / ESXi environment).

I'd like to start off with a proof of concept using Veeam B&R v9 free and go from there, however is there a direct upgrade / licensing path from free to Standard or above ?.

For example is the free edition absolutely identical to all other versions of Veeam B&R 9, the code / software, but feature limited by licensing ?. If I'm happy with my proof of concept using free can I then just apply a Standard or above license to unlock features ?.

Thanks.

Yes, this is the way it works. You just apply the paid license once you have it. You can also get the 30-days trial key for evaluation of the full product functionality.
