I have an infrastructure operating on a Nutanix Cluster and Prism Element, and I have integrated it with VEEAM Backup. I possess a socket-based license for VEEAM, and the cluster appears online in VEEAM. There are about 15 VMs in my infra, and I have set up a job to back up all the VMs which are within the cluster, I start the job and observed that it is not utilizing the socket license. Instead, it's recognizing an instance-based approach and only backing up a few VMs, with the rest displaying a license overutilization error. Can any one let me know How Nutanix works with VEEAM, is it a socket based license or instance based license only.

Hi
Veeam and Nutanix only work with the new VUL (Veeam Universal License) model, not the “old” socket model. This uses an instance-based approach.
