Having read this article, you should have a clear understanding of how to back up a VM using Veeam Backup & Replication. For information about restoring a VM, please check out our How to Restore a VM with Veeam Backup & Replication (Enterprise) article. Here you need to browse license file location and select the license file then click on open button. Now you can see i have successfully installed the license in Veeam Backup and Replication Software so just click on close button. Transfer the Veeam license ID file to the Microsoft Windows instance. Start the Veeam Backup and Replication software and use the acquired license ID file to activate the software. From the Backup Infrastructure menu, select Backup Repositories and confirm that the Default Backup Repository path is E: Backup.

You can update the license manually on demand. When you update the license manually, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager connects to the Veeam License Update Server, downloads a new license from it (if the license is available) and installs it.

To update the license:

  1. Sign in to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager using an account with the Portal Administrator role.
  2. To open the Configuration view, click Configuration in the top right corner.
  3. In the Configuration view, open the Licensing section.
  4. In the Summarytab, click Details.
  5. Click the Update now link.

Updating License Automatically

You can instruct Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to schedule automatic connection with Veeam License Update Server and periodically send requests for a new license. When the automatic update is enabled, Enterprise Manager requests a new license weekly, and 7 days before current license expiration date — daily.

To enable automatic update:

  1. Sign in to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager using an account with the Portal Administrator role.
  2. To open the Configuration view, click Configuration in the top right corner.
  3. In the Configuration view, open the Licensing section.
  4. In the Summarytab, click Details.
  5. In the Details window, select the Update license key automatically check box.

Note:

If this option is enabled in Enterprise Manager (even if deactivated in the Veeam backup console), automatic update will be performed anyway: Enterprise Manager will obtain a new key from Veeam licensing server and propagate it to all managed Veeam backup servers.

For information on license management in Veeam Backup and Replication, see the Licensing section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Grace Period

Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager supports a grace period after the license expiration date. For subscription license, it lasts for 30 days, for rental license — 2 months. During this period the product will be running, but a warning about license expiration (grace period) will appear in the main window and in the sessions information.

You must update your license before the end of the grace period.
