Mixing Hyper-V and VMware licensing..

Post by Adrian-C »

Hi,

If I have an environment that has a mixture of Hyper-V and VMWare hosts with VM's which need protecting, all connected to the same SAN, how do I license Veeam and do I need a backup server instance for each hypervisor type or just a proxy for each hypervisor type? I can;t find an answer to this in the FAQ anywhere

Thanks

If you want to have combined license, you can either go to the license portal and merge two (for VMware and for Hyper-V) existing licenses there or contact you sales representative that will assist you in this process.

Also, this information is covered in the corresponding sticky FAQ:
Q: How licensed sockets for each hypervisor are tracked, is it the same pool?
A: No, each hypervisor has its own socket count in the license file.
Thanks.

Thanks for the answer. I didn't want to assume that question and answer meant I could mix and match hypervisors in the same single backup server, thanks for clarifying it.
