Veeam ONE license exceeded - cannot revoke licenses

[dali@iae.nl]

Have a bunch of VM's which are deleted from some time.
In VBR you can easily revoke these VM's but Veeam ONE will hold them. So now I get exceeded warnings.
Within this forum I cannot get a good answer how to handle or what time it takes before ONE releases licenses for deleted VM's.

Hello Da Li,

In Veeam ONE, license usage is tied to monitored objects, not just active backups. When a VM is deleted or excluded from monitoring, it can take up to some days for Veeam ONE to release the license automatically. This is because Veeam ONE retains historical data for reporting and trending purposes before purging it from the database.

Please check this user guide page.

Thanks

Well, it can take many many many days or even weeks.
My work-around is to exclude the VM (Veeam ONE, Server Settings, Monitored VMs, Exclusion rules) before it is removed from the virtual platform. Then licens is instantly revoked.
If you first remove it from your virtual infrastructure you can not exclude if afterwards.

We are surely thinking about how to improve this in the future, thank you for your feedback.
