VBR (V13) and Entra backup user license count

[mjr.epicfail]

Hi,

I'm trying to make sense of the licenses count for Entra backups.
Rolled out a new VBR, configured Entra tenant, and made a backup job.
There are some 60+ users in Entra where around +-20 are Member and Active.

When checking the required licenses (rental) in the GUI I can only see the required license 10packs, not the "real per user license need".
In the API, I get the same response: the x times 10pack required.

Is there a way to see how many users are counted towards the license in VBR GUI or API?

I also have a supportcase: 07904572

Hi Danny,

I noticed you added a similar comment in the API topic.
I’ll need to check with QA and do some research to see if there’s currently a way to achieve that.

May I ask why you need the user count? Are you looking to bill per member account instead of billing the entire “10‑pack”?

Best,
Fabian

It’s 2fold.

While I trust the calculation done by veeam, I want to be able to check if the calculation is done right.

Like in the example , the user count shown in the Job is higher than the license count. I know that only active enabled members are counted but there is currently no way to check this.


Maybe I’ll add a FR to and endpoint to show the user count per configured and backedup Microsoft tenant. Similar like vb365 seat count.

Hi Danny,

A quick update — I’ve reached out to our REST API/PowerShell team to check if there’s any unsupported method available today.
If not, I’ll note it as an improvement request.

Best,
Fabian
