I would like to confirm regarding the licensing of Veeam.
We are backing up File level and VM level of our servers, but upon migrating the virtual servers to another physical server; the licensing of the backup jobs for File and VM levels are doubled.
Example:
FS01_D -- File level backup job, this is the drive D:\
FS01_VM -- VM level backup job
These 2 backup jobs before migrating the servers were counted as (1)one license since it is from just one virtual server.
However upon migration, we are now exceeding our license limit or are we missing something on this?
Is there a way to fix this without starting from scratch since it would take a lot more time to redo the backup process of each servers, these are file servers.
Please see images below for your reference.
1. License exceeds 15 instances.

2. Sample doubled license. The VM license is being added once a VM backup job runs.

Hoping for your kind assistance. Thank you.
