Veeam ONE Instance Based Licensing Monitor Hosts

[VladV]

We are preparing to migrate our licenses from Socket Based to Instance Based and were wondering if we will be able to monitor the hosts that hold the VMs like we do now (not only the protected VMs), including datastores.

Unfortunately we couldn't find this info anywhere.

Thanks

Hello Vlad,
Yes, you will be able to monitor VMs with instance-based license.
However, if the license is mixed(sockets+instances), VMs will consume only sockets.
Thanks!

Hi Shestakov,

So only VMs, not host health, datastores, etc.?

[Shestakov]

VMs and datastores will also be monitored if at least 1 VM residing on the host/datastore is monitored.

Thanks, after migration we will update this post if unsuccessful.

Thanks, Vlad! Hope it will work well.
