Support license Veeam B+R 11A

Post by gvdkolk »

Hello,

If your Veeam B+R 11A support license is expired will Veeam B+R keep making backups?
Or will it stop functioning?

Regards

Am I correct that you have a perpetual license that has both properties:

- Expiration date — a date when the license expires
- Support expiration date — a date when the support expires

If it's only the support period that has expired, then backup activities will work without interruption, but you will not be able to receive support if something misbehaves (no support tickets, hotfixes, etc.)

Thanks!

No we have a subscription license
A message box appears:
The license will expire on 9th of july 2023.
And following the short grace period all product functionality will be disabled.

In this case, all product functionality (besides restore) will be stopped and you will not be able to protect your workload any longer. Thanks!

Right, Subscription license is basically like your Netflix... except unlike them we do provide a grace period.

I thought it will be "dropped" down to the Community Edition? So 10 VM max.

It will not unless you explicitly remove the outdated license. Thanks!
