I have installed Veeam Software Appliance on fresh hardware. My intent is to recreate my backup infrastructure around it and then deprecate my current Windows server that handles the jobs. I am not finding anywhere to download a license key for version 13. It does not show in my account portal as an option for generating a key.

Hi ​@tgx ,

If you have you are using VUL licenses in your current 12.x infrastructure, you should be fine to use them on v13. The VUL licenses don't need to get updated for new versions. if you are currently using socket based licenses you will have to convert them to VUL licenses because v13 doesn't support socket licenses.

The VSA doesnt require a new license key, so you can just reuse your existing one.

I did not miss it. As I have an existing license, I did not request a trial key.

I do have VUL. Not an issue. I was able to install the v12 license. Thanks.

because v13 doesn't support socket licenses. 

Just a small note. :)

  • Veeam Software Appliance requires VUL
  • v13.0.1 on Windows can be used with socket license or VUL

 

Best,
