VEEAM INSTANCE LICENSINGįor those unfamiliar with Veeam’s licensing history, Veeam started with (and still offers) socket-based licensing. So when we started talking about Veeam’s new Universal Licensing, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself taking note.

As a former IT Manager, it was also the bane of my existence, second only to printers. We’ve all had to deal with licenses and it is a far from fun topic. I never thought I would ever be mentally engaged, let alone interested in a licensing talk.

There was a ton of great content presented to us, but I wanted to share some thoughts I had on Veeam’s new licensing model. In a nutshell, it is an opportunity for the Vanguards to spend time with some key Veeam staff, talk about current and upcoming technologies, and have some very deep NDA-level discussions. The Summit is one pieceof the program, but in my opinion it is one of the most noteworthy components. I’ve written about the Vanguard program before, and chances are I’ll write about it again. *Includes 6 free instances that can be used for monitoring non-VM workloads.Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to attend my fourth Veeam Vanguard Summit if you aren’t familiar with the event, this is an experience like none other.
