License question

[ashman70]

I have a single license for Veeam Backup, I am currently running 6.5 and will be replacing my Vsphere host with a new server, however there will be a migration period. While I move vm's from the old host to the new, will I still be able to use Veeam to backup the vm's once they have been moved to the new host, or does this require additional licensing from Veeam? Eventually I will have just the new host running Vshpere and the old will be retired, but if I wanted to keep the old host, and use Veeam to backup vm's on it, would that require an additional license?

Technically, you need to license all hosts where the VMs being backed up or replicated reside. However, you can temporarily use a second Veeam B&R trial version installation to backup VMs that are already migrated to the new host and switch license once the migration period is over.
