Purpose

This article documents the process for merging and unmerging licenses for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 using the Veeam MyAccount Portal.

Note:

  • Merging licenses creates a new license file from two or more contract licenses. This process can be performed by the customer using the Veeam MyAccount Portal, my.veeam.com.
    • The new merged license will have the expiration date of the soonest-to-expire contract.
    • The individual contracts that make up the merged license continue to be separate contracts that must be individually renewed.
  • Co-terming licenses involves taking two or more contracts and aligning their contract expiration dates, allowing the multiple contracts to become a single, easier-to-manage contract. For more information, review the "Co-Terming Support" section at the bottom of the Support Renewals FAQ, or contact the Veeam Renewals Team by filling out the Renewal Request form.
