Upgrading Veeam Data Platform from Socket to Veeam Universal License (VUL) Licensing

License Upgrade Benefits

If you are currently operating Veeam Backup & Replication with a socket-based license,  converting to the flexible Veeam Universal License (VUL) will unlock all the current and future benefits of VUL, including:

• Flexibility to launch secure, pre-hardened backup environments in moments with the Veeam Software Appliance—reducing management, security, and patching headaches.
• Native hypervisor support for Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Scale Computing HyperCore, Oracle Linux KVM, and Red Hat Virtualization.
• Flexible and straightforward per-workload licensing for Veeam Data Platform.
• Tight integrations with security platforms, including Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and more.
• Support for IaaS and PaaS offerings from AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Backup of NAS file shares and object storage.
• Centralized management and protection for physical Windows and Linux servers or workstations.
• Centralized management and protection for Oracle RMAN, SAP HANA, SAP on Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.
• Protection and granular recovery for Microsoft Entra ID.

Customers who are on Standard or Enterprise socket licenses can additionally gain access to:

• Advanced threat detection tools, such as Veeam Threat Hunter, IoC Tools Scanner, and our suite of inline and post-backup malware detection capabilities.
• Enhanced platform-level security through four-eyes authorization and KMS integrations.
• Instant database recovery for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases, as well as MongoDB workload protection with streamlined granular recovery.
