v11 community edition agent instance changed?

Post by isolated_1 »

hello forum!

we are a small msp looking to begin recommending the community edition of veeam for really small customer environments that also have a very limited budget.

from my understanding, the community edition offers 10 free instances with a VM workload counting as 1 instance, workstation agent counting as 1 instance and server agent counting as 3 instances. has this changed?

did a quick lab and a agent i deployed with veeam community edition with 'server' being chosen only shows as using 1 instance within the licensing tab. has veeam been so generous to count server agents as consuming 1 instance now?!

You are forbidden to offer/provide services with Community edition to your customers. If you want to offer a msp solution, your customer has to buy licenses from Veeam.

License Counts has changed 1-1.5 years ago. With Veeam V10. With the new VUL:
- 3 Workstations together are 1 VUL
- 1 Server Agent is 1 VUL
- 1 VM is 1 VUL

From the License Agreement:

https://www.veeam.com/eula.html
5.0 Free Licenses and Community Licenses. Free and Community License products can be used in your own production environment in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may not use the Free and Community Licenses to provide services to third parties (including support services for existing installations) or to process third party data. These versions can be used without additional purchase and can be upgraded to paying versions of the products to unlock additional functionality and features. There is no obligation to support, maintain or provide any assistance regarding any of these licenses. In no event will Veeam be liable for any damages for any claim or cause for any direct, actual, indirect damages, loss of data, consequential, incidental or special indirect damages, even if Veeam has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Thanks Mildur.

We do have rental licenses as a veeam vcsp pro partner so looks like we will go that route.
