Get License Usage for Specific Months?

[kpratola]

Is there a way to get a license usage report for a specific month? This is for a Rental license on Veeam VBR 11. Using either Get-VBRInstanceLicenseSummary or Get-VBRLicensedInstanceWorkload just gets me the current usage.

It's funny that there are time parameters for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, but I don't see any for VBR. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=70

Hello Keith

Are you looking for some specific values which are not covered by the Service Provider Console license usage report?

Normally the license usage would be on the Service Provider Console report, but we didn't have the Veeam Backup & Replication servers connected directly to the Console and would just go into the VBR servers each month to get the license usage. Now Veeam wants to see the license usage from each VBR server for the past few months. We didn't save those reports each month, so now I am trying to get the usage for each month using PowerShell. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to generate reports for prior months.

Hi Keith

Can you please check this folder on the Veeam Backup & Replication server? It should contain the old reports:
--> %ProgramData%\Veeam\Backup\Reports
I will check with our PowerShell/RestAPI Team if we have an option on the command line. I believe it's not possible, because VBR doesn't track the historical license usage.


Best,
Fabian
