Hi @kang ! I wouldn't put it that way. Veeam is still offering a Community Edition : https://www.veeam.com/products/free/backup-recovery.html but it is not giving NFRs a second time. 

As I mentioned previously, if you meet community criteria, you can still get an NFR. 

Best, 

Madi

@Madi.Cristil just to so I understand correctly, Veeam has decided to turn it’s back on the homelab community and will no longer renew NFR licenses even though they have been used for years?

Hi @kang ! 

As for the community criteria, we haven’t made any changes.

However, it seems there may have been some changes at the Veeam organizational level, as you're not the only one experiencing issues with obtaining an NFR key through the links I provided.

I suggest you go to veeam.com and use the chat box to inquire in this regard. 

In case you become active at the Hub or show us Veeam content that you created, the community team would be happy to provide an NFR. :)

Best, 

Madi

@Madi.Cristil is this a recent change? I, and I assume many, many others, have renewed our NFR licenses over the years without issue.

Hi @kang ! That sounds accurate - you already used an NFR key so that's why you can't go for a second one. 

You have to go through your local sales team or if you are a blogger and a community member , you should be active at the Community Hub or write on your blog about Veeam. 

We usually give away NFRs to our Veeam 100 members, VUG leaders and active community members( bloggers that have Veeam content related, discusses Veeam on social media , etc) . 

Let me know if that's the case! :) 

Thank you! 

I’ve tried that link a few times and I keep getting the “Our records indicate that you have already received a NFR license.” message.  I have also reached out to sales (I don’t have a team) multiple times but haven’t got a response.

Hello all! 

You can always use the links in this post to get an NFR license: https://www.veeam.com/blog/how-to-get-free-nfr-key.html 

At the same time, please contact your regional sales team and they can assist with this matter. 

Thank you! 

Madi

I have almost the same problem. My NFR soon expires and the VBR GUI tells me to renew. Everytime I request a new NFR, I immediately receive my old soon-to-expire license. How can I request and receive a new NFR?

I’m in the same boat as @dcuk24 and @riversidex.  My NFR key for my homelab expired today but I also received the “Our records indicate that you have already received a NFR license.” message when I reapplied.  @Madi.Cristil would you be able to assist me as well?

Hi @dcuk24 and @riversidex ! 

I sent you each an email. 

Hope to see you more often in the community :) 

Best, 

Madi

Same here as dcuk24, I couldn’t renew NFR license this time while it worked for years.

Hi,

Already had an NFR key that’s just expired, and it wasn’t letting me renew it!

“Our records indicate that you have already received a NFR license.”

I’ve been using NFR keys for about 5 years for a test lab, the tickbox under licensing to report back and automatically update the license is also checked.

Hi!  The same as a previous poster... My home lab's NFR license is shortly going to be expiring, and I went to the same site/form I'd used in the past to request another license.  It provided me with the ISO installer, but no license... Checked my email, spam, etc.  for good measure tried again but still no license.  If anyone at Veeam could assist, I'd be most appreciative!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Madi.Cristil - Thank you very much for your support.

Hi @Meitantei ! Please check your email!

Hello,

last year I asked if it was possible to get a Veeam Data Platform NFR license and this was possible - thanks again. 

Now my license has expired and I would like to renew it if possible. I have written to your sales support about this - but so far without an answer.

Then I came across this thread again and saw that the right way is to apply for a new license - see post by @MicoolPaul. 

Unfortunately this did not work. I received an e-mail with instructions for downloading the software - but no new license. 

Maybe there is someone here who can help me? 

P.S. I am still an IT professional and can prove this again. 

Many thanks for your efforts in advance.

Best regards,
Sebastian

@regnor

Thanks for your response and answering my question - that's great.

Yes, the company I work for is a Veeam Partner; I'll check back here at the appropriate place.

Tried to apply for a license in parallel via the official request page for NFR licenses and it worked; hope that's ok.

Best regards 
Sebastian 

@Tom1 You get a license for the Veeam Data Platform - Premium edition. And this includes Veeam ONE and the Veeam Recovery Orchestrator.

@Meitantei Are you maybe a Veeam Partner? If so, you can request a NFR license from you partner account manager. If not, maybe @Madi.Cristil can help.

How about Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator? Looks like it is a part of the suite.

Hello,

I am currently using Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition (exclusively private) and would be interested in a NFR license for Veeam Backup & Replication. 

I am an IT expert - Computer Forensic Expert to be precise and also certified (GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst).

Is there a possibility to get a NFR license?

Thank you very much for your efforts in advance.

Best regards 
Sebastian

I appreciate this, thank you!

Thanks.

Yes, you can as it is part of the suite.

I have Veeam Availability Suite NFR. Can I also install Veeam Enterprise Manager?

Correct, you don’t renew you just request a new one
