Upgrade Veeam One Free from 6.5 to 7

Post by Marc.H »

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade Veeam One Monitor Free Edition from 6.5 to 7.0 but the installer of 7.0 does not allow me to choose FREE Functionality mode during install.

Please help.

Regards
Marc

Did you use Veeam ONE 6.5 in a free mode with a free license key or it was installation without any license keys at all?

Hi Vitaly,

I am not sure. I think I used it without license key. However when I look under Licensing information in 6.5 it tells me free mode.

Dear
In my case it was a working 6.5 with free license file installed. If not OK to contribute in this thread with information, but rather start own thread, pls advice

Marc and Eric,

Do you have all-in-one setup or you have different components installed on different machines?

Thanks!

What about our reporting interface (website)? Is it installed on the same machine?

In order to upgrade to v7 in the free mode, all components should be installed on the same machine, distributed installation is part of paid/full edition only. It seems like you've previously been using Veeam ONE in a trial mode and then switched to free, right? If this is the case, then you need remove all Veeam ONE components on this server and perform a clean installation pointing to existing database, this would allow you to retain all historical data.

Hi Vitaly,

I could well be that it was once a trial and then switch to free - I cannot remember. I will give it a try deinstalling and pointing the new installation to the existing database and report in this topic.

Thanks for your help so far.

Ohh, dear.
This is embarrasing. I tried to install/upgrade on a server which only has the client component installed. Now installing on the server where Veeam actually runs, and FREE func mode is available.
Inplace upgrading went without a hitch.

I'm very sorry for the confusion.

deinstalling and pointing the new installation to the existing database did work for me.
