Veeam Agent for Windows throws a license error

Post by kevinme »

When trying to enter our Backup Repository (currently used by Veaeam B+R, and 3 Veeam Endpoint Agents), a Loading License window appears, then another window appears and states:

Failed to load Veeam Agent for Windows License.
Failed to connect to remote backup service.

When viewing licensing information in Veeam Agent for Windows settings, it states:

License:

Expiration - 5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM
Support Expiration - 5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM
Platforms - 50 Workstations, 20 Servers
Contact person - Public Beta (benchmark@veeam.com)

Note: Our Veeam B+R is 9.5 Update 1.

Hi kevin,

You get this error in VAW 2.0 BETA, right?

So, Agent license is deployed to VBR 9.5 U1. Any chance you have this VBR connected to Enterprise Manager?

Are you testing both Veeam Endpoint Backup 1.5 and Veeam Agent for Windows 2.0 BETA within the same VBR?

Yes, Veeam Agent for Windows 2.0 BETA throws a license error.

Yes, VBR is connected to Enterprise Manager.

No, only Veeam Agent for Windows 2.0 BETA is being used.

Thanks for the clarification. Please try install agent license to the Enterprise Manager console and let me know how it goes.

I really only needed to backup a Server & an external USB Hard Drive attached to the server and was hoping Veeam could do both simultaneously (veeam-agent-for-windows-f33/veeam-agent ... 40802.html). Since Veeam will not back up that drive, I've no need to continue. Thank you for your assistance Dima.
