Thank you @MicoolPaul as I said: if VBR would revoke licenses automatically from hosts without any (backuped-up) VMs, then we wouldn´t need a script solution at all.And switching to instance licenses and spending almost 3 times the fees of our socket licenses will not happen. But that´s a different topic...
This screams violation of EULA here so be very careful what you’re doing and if it’s breaking your agreement. What is the reason for needing the socket licenses revoked before each replication job? Each scenario I can think of that isn’t just to cheap out on licenses is an overly complex exercise in inefficiency. Well, @MicoolPaul , you are asking about scenarios where it might be helpful to automatically revoke socket licenses? Here is one: our VMWare admins did a re-design of their vCenters according to where VMs are located (which vCenter and/or host). At the same time old ESXi hosts were removed, and new more powerful ones got installed. It took them quite a time to do all that and for me the result was that my Veeam servers ran out of licenses because ESXi hosts would consume licenses even if they no longer were hosting any VMs. On the other side new hosts came up consuming licenses that were not (yet) available. You get the picture? Of course, this scenario wouldn´t happen every
