Licensing Question

[ChrisMoon]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, I'm currently evaluating Veeam Backup & Replication and I'm not sure how many licenses I would require.

I have 2 hosts (each with two sockets) and I'm replicating from host A to host B.

I'd assumed I would need 4 socket licenses for this scenario, however when I look at the license information within the software there are only 2 socket licenses used, for host A. Does this mean I only need 2 licenses so long as I keep the replication only going one way?

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,

Our licensing model is quite simple - you have to license only source hosts, so in you case, you're absolutely right, you need only 2 socket license file to have replication going one way.

Thank you.

Thanks for confirming that.
