Feature request: License Usage Report

Post by iDeNt_5 »

Case reference #07739648

Hi all,

I'd like to insert a new feature request to create a new kind of report, the License Usage Report.

This kind of report is already present in the VBR console, but it's not possible to schedule/send it via e-mail.

Thanks.

Hello Matteo,

Thank you for the interesting request. I'll explore whether there's a way to automate the scheduling and email-sending processes.

Thanks

Hello Matteo,

At this time, there doesn’t appear to be a straightforward way to accomplish this task in Veeam ONE.
The feature request has been noted for consideration in future releases.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Matteo,

Have you considered using Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC)?

With VSPC, you can onboard your internal Veeam environment—or each customer individually—as a managed company. Once connected, you can install and manage licenses across all your VBR servers, and VSPC automatically generates a monthly license usage report.

I've set it up myself and found it incredibly useful. It saves a significant amount of time on both reporting and license management. Plus, it integrates with Veeam Pulse, allowing you to assign licenses per customer, and assist with renewals too.

Even if you use it solely for license management, VSPC is a powerful tool worth exploring!

Hi Stephen,

Yes, but with this Customer is not a possible solution, since we don't manage their licenses and we have a totally different contract for the others that we manage thru VSPC.

Thanks anyway for your suggestion :-)

Hello,
Maybe you've already identified this solution, but it's also possible to create a PowerShell script to export the license usage and then send it to you by email.
Or am I wrong ?

Hi vincel,

No, at least for now, since the Customer I'm talking about just bought Veeam ONE and it would be happy to manage this kind of reports using this product, so it would be nice if it will bring this feature in one of their next release.

Hello Matteo,
I couldn't let pass this opportunity to automate this action, using current Veeam PS and some Microsoft Graph magic to get the email nicely, instructions here: Hope we can get this delivered as a feature sometime as Roman mentioned.

Thank you!
