VUL is a portable license that can be used universally, across a variety of workload types in the Veeam Data Platform. It provides users with the added element of portability, which makes the jump to hybrid and multi cloud environments even easier without challenges or additional cloud fees. VUL is sold in annually subscriptions that allow users to start small, and grow confidently without lock-in. Use what you want, when and where you need it. License portability simplifies ordering and license management, which reduces the complexity of managing multiple SKUs by product or workload type.
There are many benefits to VUL that separates it from legacy licenses. You no longer have to purchase licenses by individual products or ones that are restricted to a specific workload type. This new model makes a variety of products and features more readily available to more users. This means that licenses can be used across multiple products and workloads, whether they be virtual, physical or in the cloud. You aren’t tied to a license type or to a product you don’t need — now that's portability!
As the market increasingly shifts toward multi-cloud and hybrid environments, data now needs to be more portable, and subscription licensing has become the expectation. Veeam made the commitment to our customers to offer more products via a portable license model. The customer benefits of this model include:
Simplified use: Easier license ordering, management and merging capabilities.
Increased value: Get more features at a lower price per workload. Buy only what you need without the risk of getting locked into specific workload licenses.
Price predictability: Purchase multi-year contracts up-front or pay annually as you go.
Pay per workload: Only buy what you need and increase, or decrease, based on need at the time of renewal.
No lock-ins: If you're unsatisfied, you can choose not to renew your subscription.
Support included: Get 24.7.365 production support for your entire license term at no extra cost
A workload can be a VM, physical server, cloud VM, Enterprise application, NAS file share or more. With VUL, customers can use the licenses to protect any workload they need, since the licenses are portable.
VUL is how Veeam Data Platform offerings are licensed and the list of supported workloads grows each release. The list below shows the type of workloads that available today:
The following products are sold and licensed separately
Yes, customers can have both VUL and per Socket licenses and may merge them together in a centrally managed environment in many cases(excluding Essentials). If a socket license is present, all VMware or Hyper-V VMs must be protected with the socket license, and VUL can be used for all other workloads.
Important note: When merging per-socket and VUL licenses, be aware that the socket license “edition” dictates the capability of the entire merged environment.
VUL licenses are always fully featured and not limited by edition or environment, thus VUL will always be the preferred option with the greatest flexibility and customers are encouraged to upgrade from per-socket licenses to VUL today.
