If you are on VBR v 12.x you are already using the "Data Plattform" it's more like a Marketing name. When you Upgrade to Data Plattform Foundation now it only includes VBR. So the product is 100% the same. Just swap the license keys and you are done, nothing to reinstall.

Other Data Plattform Edition include more products like VeeamOne and Orchestrator. So you can see this Plattform Name more like a collection of already know products.

All you need to do is change the license key.  There is nothing else required.

It was easy as it’s sounds, remove previous lic, add new lic and now jobs are running at all speeds!

thanks, colleagues in backups!
